Château Canon 1986 is a Right Bank Bordeaux from the Premier Grand Cru Classé B property Château Canon in St-Émilion. With its modest 18ha planted with 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc, Canon produces a deliciously soft, elegant Merlot-dominant Grand Vin typically with excellent ageing potential. ""Very fine concentration of berry and cassis flavours meshes well with toasty oak and firm tannins to produce a wine of power, style and grace." Wine Spectator, 1995
89
Robert Parker
The 1986 displays a perfume of toasty, smoky, new oak and blackcurrants, has impressive extract, and a wonderful purity of currant fruit that reminded me of the classic Cabernets made by the tiny Napa Valley winery of Spottswoode. Anticipated maturity. 1997-2015. Last tasted, 1/93. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
