Recht dunkles Weinrot mit granat-rubinen Reflexen. Ein spezielles Bouquet zeigend; gekochte Kirschen, Edelhölzer, Mokka, Earl-Greyteenoten, tief und würzig. Im Gaumen zeigt der Wein Kraft, stützende Adstringenz, schwarze Beeren und im Innern so viel Rasse und Pfeffer wie noch nie, es schlummert darin eine Aromatik die an alte, grosse Canon-Jahrgänge vor 30 Jahren erinnert. Endlich wieder einmal ein ganz grosser Wein dieses lange mit bescheidenen Qualitäten aufwartenden Weingutes.

Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London.The 2006 Château Canon has a vivid, kirsch and wild strawberry bouquet with touches of orange zest and marmalade, a touch of mushroom in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, sage and melted tar. There is wonderful structure here, superb salinity, completely fulfilling the promise it demonstrated out of bottle. Perhaps yes, I was a little over-enthusiastic at that time, but after ten years it has foraged wonderful focus and vivacity. Seek this out. Tasted January 2016.

Subtle aromas of chocolate, orange peel and flowers. Full- to medium-bodied, with balanced, silky tannins and a pretty finish. Not a big wine, but pleasing and friendly. Subtle and beautiful. Best after 2012.
