Tasting Notes

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 27 Mar 24
Deep garnet-brick in color, the 2006 Canon rocks up with evolved notes of baked plums, raspberry preserves, and kirsch plus hints of crushed rocks, wild sage, and candied violets. The medium to full-bodied palate is bright as a penny, delivering plenty of black fruits with tertiary/earthy nuances and precise, grainy tannins, finishing long and lively. This is a pleasant surprise! 2006 was the first vintage after they got rid of the old wooden vats and installed stainless-steel tanks.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 30 May 16
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.
Drinking Date: 2016 - 2030

The 2006 Canon has a lovely bouquet of black cherries, liquorice, cassis, light violet scents and just a dab of kirsch. The palate is medium-bodied with a liquorice-tinged entry, quite high-toned and spicy. I feel this lacks the precision and terroir expression that the estate has harnessed over the last decade. Notes of Asian cuisine surface towards the finish.
Drinking Date: 2026 - 2038

Bordeaux

Red Bordeaux, globally renowned, is crafted in France’s Bordeaux region from grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. These full-bodied wines feature dark fruit flavours, earthy and spicy notes, and often benefit from ageing. Top producers include Château Margaux, Château Latour, and Château Lafite Rothschild. White Bordeaux, made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, offers styles from crisp to rich, with citrus and tropical notes. Sweet Bordeaux wines, like Sauternes, are famed for their rich sweetness and flavours of apricot and honey, with Château d’Yquem as a leading producer.
