1975 Canon - Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux, France

1975 Canon : Mineral-like with hints of licorice and dry fruit on the nose, preceding a linear and focused palate, again tasting of fresh earth and minerals and a smooth texture. Sneaky persistence and very pleasurable!

1990 Canon - Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux, France

1990 Canon : the ripe fruits largely dominate the other aromas. The wine has a nice body, although not extremely concentrated. The finish is a little bit linear, although the wine preserves an overall freshness. Canon 90 is certainly not a contest wine but should bode well with some white meat dish. 87/100

2000 Canon - Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux, France

2000 Canon : this wine was unfortunately corked but tasted at the chateau in April during the en primeur season, the 2000 was rather muted and subtle in its pure cherry aromas and very smooth on the palate, with a long finish but far from open at this stage.
