"Slightly scented fruit; sweet, delicious flavour, long oaky, dry finish. At its peak 2010 - 2018."

"With a saturated deep ruby colour, this is probably the best Canon in a number of years. It is still made in a relatively austere, tannic style, but strong black cherry and loamy soil notes intermixed with some liquorice and background subtle oak lead to a rich, elegant, stylish effort that is closed and in need of cellaring. Give this wine, which clearly reveals the minerality of this top-notch vineyard, at least 7-8 years of bottle age and drink it over the following 20-25 years."
