    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    This Chanel owned St Emilion property is back on top form. Some lucky customers will be able to taste the 2009 at a dinner at our St James's Street office with John Kolasa. They will find a heady and rich St Emilion with a beautiful sense of precision and poise. There is a wonderful bouquet of attractive minerals and pure black fruit. This is a big, concentrated Canon, but the flavours are both pure and very refined. There is a sumptuous, velvety texture to this 2009. The tannins are very refined and one is left with long flavours of bright, characterful fruit. Bravo.

    Beautiful restraint on the nose, really stands out for its discreet exuberance and juicy nuance. Charming, fresh figs, raspberry, black cherry, cranberry, cocoa bean, espresso, salted cracker and sea salt. Melted tannins, and fully getting into its stride. As with the last time I tasted this pair, the 2009 just edges out over the 2010, and for now the gap has widened slightly. Yield 35hl/h, 60% new oak, 3.75ph.

    The 2009 Canon has a loose-knit, quite sensual bouquet that does not have the same depth or mineralité as recent vintages like the 2015 and 2016. The warmth of the summer comes through here, a touch of garrigues. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannin, a little more advanced than say, the Canon-la-Gaffelières with a spicy, black pepper and sage tinged finish. Enjoy this over the next decade, but is it a long term Canon? Tasted at BI Wines & Spirits' annual Ten Year On tasting.
