Château Canon 2009 is a Right Bank Bordeaux from the prestigious St-Émilion appellation, part of the Grand Cru Classé A classification. This vintage features a blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc. The wine was matured in 60% new oak barrels, contributing to its complexity. John Kolasa, the former winemaker, strategically increased the Cabernet Franc percentage in 2009, aiming for a richer expression over time. The nose presents restrained aromas, while the palate exhibits silky tannins, leading to a mineral finish. This wine offers significant ageing potential.

Robert Parker
Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2009 Canon is a little reticent to begin, opening out to notions of rare beef, cast iron pan, cigar boxes and cloves with a core of baked plums and mulberries plus a waft of dried lavender. Full, richly fruited and sill quite youthful, the palate has a firm yet velvety texture and seamless freshness supporting the generous fruit, finishing long and mineral laced. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
