Premier Grand Cru Classé

WOW - the 2016 Canon opens with the most breathtaking scent of violets, red roses and kirsch, giving way to a core of black cherry jam, chocolate box, liquorice, warm plums and Chinese five-spice powder, as well as an earthy hint of undergrowth. Medium to full-bodied, on the palate expressive black berries, lively red fruits, supported by impressively fine-grained tannins and fantastic tension, it finishes very long with breathtaking energy. Bravo!
