Château Canon la Gaffelière 2009
Saint-Emilion - First Grand Cru Rated B
A fascinating blend of Merlot, nearly 50%, an exorbitant 35% Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon (a somewhat unusual combination for this region), the 2009 reminds me of the 1990s. A beautiful inky/purple color tinged with just over 14% natural alcohol, it exhibits exotic, flamboyant aromas of espresso roast, incense, sweet black cherries, black currants, licorice, asphalt, barbecue smoke, and fruit and herb cake. Full-bodied with silky tannin, flavorful fruit, a complex personality, low acidity, notable tannin, and enviable purity, this head-turning beauty can be enjoyed over the next 15-20 years. It has been one of my favorite St.-Emilions since the late 1980s. Drink it through 2032.
