Tasting Note
Wine Advocate: 94-96
A brilliant wine in the making, the 2021 Canon offers up aromas of cherries, wild berries, licorice, sweet soil tones, raw cocoa, Indian spices and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's immensely refined and seamless, with a lively spine of acidity, ripe tannins and a long, penetrating, intensely saline finish. This beautifully balanced Canon is one of the classiest, most complete wines of the Right Bank in this vintage. Tasted four times.
Sotheby's Wine: 92-94
Canon offers a precise and detailed nose built on complex aromas of blackberry, raspberry, plum and subtle touches of spice, chocolate, and rose petals. A true fragrance. On the palate, it displays impressive volume, freshness and lively energy. The wine is full-bodied with considerable depth and a succulent, long and saline finish. It has an impressive tannin structure where everything is about this precision between grip and finesse. One of greatest right bank wines of the vintage and a superb achievement for Nicolas Audebert and his team. - Amayès Aouli
