Chateau Canon La Gaffeliere 1Er Grand Cru 2018 0,75l

JAMES SUCKLING: “A lovely, fruity and juicy red with mineral and dried-tea character. Full and tightly structured with a long and flavorful finish. Tight at the moment, but shows momentum and depth.”

WINE ENTHUSIAST: “This already shows sophistication in a stream of black currant fruit set alongside the firm tannins that are still developing. Its structure and juicy berry fruits give richness and freshness at the end while also promising aging. – Roger Voss”

ROBERT PARKER – THE WINE ADVOCATE: “Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Canon la Gaffeliere has a fantastically exuberant nose of preserved plums, blueberry compote and black cherry pie with hints of menthol, mocha, Sichuan pepper and garrigue plus wafts of lavender and tilled soil. Full-bodied, concentrated and wonderfully decadent, it has a firm yet plush texture and just enough freshness in the background, finishing long with a menthol lift. – Lisa Perrotti-Brown”

WINE SPECTATOR: “A bright, mineral-driven style in the making, with the chalky aspect leading the way, quickly followed by a racy stream of red currant, raspberry and cherry coulis flavors. Has the grip of the vintage, but this is piercingly focused in feel. – James Molesworth”

FALSTAFF: “Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Zart floral unterlegte dunkle Beerenfrucht, reife Kirschen, feiner Edelholztouch, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, reife Kirschen, zarter Nougat, feine Tannine, würzig und anhaftend, verfügt über Frische und Mineralität, salziger Nachhall, ein facettenreicher Speisenbegleiter. – Peter Moser”
