Chateau Canon 2006

93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

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, and 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.

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast

A big, dark, rich wine with an impressively opulent structure allied to fresh, bright Merlot character. The flavours of black berry juice are followed by chocolate, bitter coffee and vibrant acidity, which gives freshness to the finish.
