"Seductive. The nose draws you in deep: It?s like staring into a well of pristine dark cherries dark plums blackberries and mulberries. All the oak is perfectly subsumed. The

From the very beginning the 2015 Canon has made an eloquent case for itself as one of the wines of the vintage. Multiple tastings from bottle only confirm what several early tastings hinted at: the 2015 Canon is simply extraordinary in every way. Sumptuous and exotic with no hard edges and exceptional balance the 2015 grabs hold of all the senses and never lets up. A rush of red fruit intermingled with floral notes spice and smoke notes effortlessly runs up the wine's vertical structure as the 2015 thrills with every twist and turn. The 2015 Canon is a rare wine that is both hedonistic and intellectual - well maybe it is a bit more hedonistic-leaning. It doesn't matter. Don't miss it. This 2015 is masterpiece from General Manager Nicolas Auderbert and his team at Canon. -- Antonio Galloni

A plush inviting style with warmed fig and plum sauce notes taking the lead picking up swaths of cocoa tobacco and roasted alder along the way. Features plenty of pumping bass but if you pay attention there?s a laser of chalky minerality driving the finish. When the baby flesh drops away this will sail in the cellar for some time. Best from 2022 through 2045. 7500 cases made.?J.M.
Wine Enthusiast: 97 Points
This estate now performing on top form has produced a rich dense wine. Swathes of black fruits underline the generous structure and intensity. At first taste the tannins are soft but that turns out to be an illusion. The tannins are just richly cushioned within the beautiful fruit. Drink from 2024.
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
"Composed of 72% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc and aged for 18 months in 70% new and 30% one-year-old barrels the 2015 Canon is boldly fruited with blackberry preserves black cherry compote fruitcake mocha and plum preserves with suggestions of Indian spices licorice and black olives. Full-bodied and packed with ripe rich dried berries and exotic spice layers it has a firm slightly chewy structure and just enough freshness (the pH is 3.78) finishing long and savory. Give it another 2-3 years of cellaring to soften its edges and allow its flavor spectrum to fully emerge and drink it over the next 20 to 25+ years.
