Château Canon, 1er GCC B St-Emilion - 2012

"The 2012 Canon is a stupendous wine for the vintage and if anything, it appears to be improving with each encounter. It clearly serves up more than enough volume and fruit intensity on the nose compared to the impressive 2011 Canon: it is very pure with black cherries, wild strawberry, asphalt and blood orange. This is very well defined and beautifully focused. The palate is medium-bodied, silky smooth and with that thrilling sense of frisson. There is so much vivacity wound up inside this Saint Emilion that it would not surprise me if it turns out to be one of the very best in 2012." - Wine Advocate : 94/100 ; Jancis Robinson : 17/20 ; The Wine Independant : 97/100 ; Wine Enthusiast : 93/100 ; Bettane & Desseauve : 18/20 ; Vinum : 17/20
