Chateau Canon Saint-Emilion 2010

Wonderful nose with strawberries, cherry blossom, and vanilla. The red opens up with blueberries, milk chocolate and sweet licorice. Full and juicy on palate with pure dark fruit and velvety tannins. The palate is medium-bodied with a succulent core of sweet mulberry and dark plum fruit, surprisingly saline in the mouth, very well balanced with the Cabernet Franc stealing the steering wheel from the Merlot on the finish that fans out beautifully.

So nicely layered texture and long in the finish with red fruit and crushed chalk. The texture is superb. A blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc.
