The 2018 Canon La Gaffelière is bright, punchy and full of character, just as it was from barrel. Sage, blood orange, mocha and spice add pretty aromatic top notes to a core of inky red/purplish berry fruit. All the elements are so well balanced in this super-expressive Saint-Émilion. Bright floral and savory Franc notes punctuate the salivating finish, mineral-drenched finish. The 2018 needs a lot of air to open, but when it does, it is dynamite.

Nose of red fruits, black cherries, white flowers, mild black pepper, smooth oak. Flavors of ripe cherries, black pepper, vanilla and black currant. Soft tannins.

2018 vintage. Last tasted 11.24.21. Plenty of richness and full-bodied. Enticing, fruity nose filled with spice. Pretty delicious still with that cocoa powder/blueberry finish right now. Super-drinkable and verry few sharp edges currently. Enuff stuffing to revisit in 15-20 years without performance anxiety.

2018 vintage. Rich, full nose. Medium-heavy bod. That richness comes rollicking through in a broad capacity, enlisting plum, cocoa, sandalwood and spices into immediate service. Fairly showy now and not seeing any drop-off in that regard for at least 7-10 years. Plushy.
