    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Croix Canon, St Emilion, Grand Cru, 2016

    The 2016 Croix Canon is extremely moreish. Initially it bursts with notes of sweet dark cherries and rosehip. The palate is pure and fresh with plenty of wild berry character. It’s utterly seductive, with no hard edges, just beautifully textured, floral infused fruit. An absolute delight!

    The 2021 Croix Canon continues to display a lot of Cabernet Franc on the nose, and in my book, that is no bad thing—plenty of black fruit, brown spices and a touch of mocha. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid entry and fine depth, cohesive with a slight tightening toward the finish. Nicely structured, this is a very competent Croix Canon that should give ten years' drinking pleasure.
