Chateau Canon-La-Gaffeliere Saint Emilion 2010

This wine shows wonderfully exotic tapenade, licorice, Christmas fruitcake, cedar wood, blackberry and sweet cherry notes in its strikingly provocative aromatics. On the palate, the wine is dense and full-bodied, with stunning concentration, purity, texture and length. It is full-bodied, silky smooth and seems to have more in common than one might expect, although the freshness and tannin levels are slightly more elevated.
