Château Canon is a famous St-Emilion property is named after Jacques Kanon who bought the estate in 1760. Composed of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, the 2005 is a superb release with a beautifully lush and rounded profile that makes it excellent to drink now, but with enough underlying structure and subtle complexity to age for at least another decade or two.

The 2005 Canon is an absolute gem and, like many 2005s, is beginning to shed its tannins and become more approachable and terroir-driven. Red berry fruit, undergrowth, hints of singed leather and warm gravel manifest on the nose, plus just a touch of hot bricks in the background, and perhaps terra-cotta. The palate is not muscular but shows fine backbone. The tannins, having softened in the last couple of years, frame a mélange of red and black fruit intermixed with bay leaf and clove. Kudos to winemaker John Kolasa, who oversaw this vintage and was instrumental in the estate’s rejuvenation. - Neil Martin
