Château Canon-La-Gaffelière - Saint-Émilion Grand Cru (Premier Grand Cru Classé) 2005 (1.5L) United SttaesCritical Acclaim 95 points James Suckling This is a vivid and juicy wine with great depth and finesse. Full body, chewy and beautiful. Tight and complex. Still needs time but sexy and beautiful. Stone and chalk. Exciting. (JS, 06 2017) 94 points Wine Enthusiast A successful wine from Canon la Gaffelire. It is in a modern style with very polished edges of fruit, but the heart of the wine has a core of solid, dark, dry tannins. The wood gives spiciness,

contributing to the wine’s distinct mineral character

and it hits the palate with classic Clos des Papes elegance and finesse backed up by a great mid-palate

The rich aromas of brioche and honey with notes of fresh wild flowers combine very well

this full-bodied effort comes across as ripe and succulent while being fresh and zesty at the same time

Extraction is easy

This should come out of its shell in the next year or two

The aromatics open up with crushed red cherries

buoyant acidity and hints of minerality

2017 vintage

licorice and pepper notes complements its aromatic range

This Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc opens with alluring aromas of lemon blossom

Medium-bodied with super-clean
