«Charming cassis and blackberry puree gavors glide along the polished structure, with light rooibos tea and anise accents chiming in. Offers a bright, polished Vnish.»

«This is really excellent for the vintage with wonderful density of fruit in terms of plum liqueur and creme de cassis. The palate’s plush but velvety with round tannins and a long finish. Should drink fabulously when young. So generous but silky and dialed-in. »

«Tension et bonne densité en bouche, bien garnie, matière serrée qui reste friande. La fraîcheur évoque une assise calcaire pour ce vin dont les vignes ne sont pourtant pas enracinées dans la roche.»

«...the 2017 Canon la Gaffeliere contains a large part of second-generation fruit because 65% of the crop was affected by frost. Deep garnet-purple in color, it has pronounced crème de cassis, blueberry pie, red currants and red plums notes with touches of Chinese five spice, fragrant earth, tapenade and tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with nice firm tannins giving a sturdy frame along with plenty of freshness supporting great mid-palate density, finishing long and earthy».

«Couleur sombre et intense. Nez moyennement aromatique, au fruité très mûr. Caressant en entrée de bouche, discret au milieu, le vin s’étire en finale un peu âpre pour l’année. Longueur moyenne».
