Château Canon La Valade 2014 – Canon-Fronsac

The nose is fruity. It reveals notes of cassis, juicy wild red berries combined with a hint of raspberry, a vegetal hint as well as a subtle hint of vanilla / wood and an imperceptible hint of cardamon. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, racy and offers a fine racy minerality, an acid frame, a fine intensity, depthness as well as a fine unctuosity. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of crushed strawberry, crushed cassis and blackberry combined with a touch of black cherry, chocolate, oak / vanilla as well as a subtle touch of caramelization and an imperceptible vegetal hint (in the background). Tannins are fine and slightly mellow. Good length.
