Tasting Notes
Shows coffee, light toasty oak and milk chocolate. Full-bodied, with layered tannins and a woody, ripe fruit aftertaste. Rich, chewy and very powerful. Impressive. Gets better and better. Best after 2014. 4,200 cases made. – James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2008

This is a beautiful Canon! Extraordinarily pure and refined on the nose with bright black cherries and redcurrant fruit, superb minerality and clarity that is life affirming. The palate is medium-bodied with a svelte entry, fine tannins and pure dark, almost broody fruit. This Canon remains in a closed, adolescent stage and will need several years in bottle. Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate, Dec 2012
Relatively pale. Savoury (I thought perhaps it was Magdelaine). Racy and transparent and very different from most of these wines. Muscular and fine boned. No excess of flesh certainly! Lively finish. Very polished.www.jancisrobinson.com, 16 Feb 2009
A strong effort from Château Canon, the 2005 offers a saturated ruby/purple color followed by beautiful floral notes intermixed with black raspberry, black cherry, and some crushed rock. Medium to full-bodied, with extraordinary elegance and precision, this stunner is showing better now than it was early in its life. This wine is set for another three decades of longevity.| eRobertParker.com.June, 2015
