Chateau Canon-la-Gaffeliere – Saint Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classe – 2015
$249.00
Blend of 55% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Franc, and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Aged in French oak, 55% new, for 17 months, the 2015 Canon la Gaffeliere features a deep garnet-purple color and a cedar-laced nose to begin, giving way to fragrant underlying scents of roses and violets with a core of crushed black currants, blackberries and Bing cherries plus hints of fallen leaves and dusty earth. Medium to full-bodied, the seductively perfumed red and black fruit fills the mouth, framed with plush tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing very long and minerally. Wine Advocate – 97
