Château Canon 2016 – 1er Grand Cru Classé, Saint-Emilion

The nose is fruity. It reveals notes of cassis and slight notes of plum associated with a hint of wild red fruits, a discreet hint of cassis bud as well as a discreet woody hint. The palate is fruity, juicy, well-balanced, elegant, nicely mineral, nicely built, silky and offers a slight acid frame, as well as a slight tension. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of blackberry, cassis jam and slight notes of red berries associated with a very discreet hint of plum, flowers, licorice, toasted oak as well as slight notes of chocolate on the finish. Tannins are well-built. Good length. Nice potential.
