Château Canon
Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2018
The 2018 Canon was picked starting on September 7 and finishing on October 9. Given a two-hour decant, it reveals a surprisingly precocious bouquet, more exuberant than I recall from barrel, offering predominantly black fruit, though the floral element is now amplified and masks the crushed limestone I observed previously (for how long?) The palate delivers multilayered black cherry and blueberry fruit, wrapped up in supple tannins and such a cashmere texture that it feels deceptively approachable when in truth, it has the substance and persistence to merit long-term aging. I wagered that it is the best Canon since the watershed 2015. Don’t expect me to alter that view. (Neal Martin, Vinous, March 2021)

Senses Margaret River Zinfandel 2012
A nice surprise. A gift for my 50th from a good friend and mentor. Typical ripe fruit and exotic spice of Zinfandel but restrained and fresh. Really enjoyed it. 👍 — 2 years ago

Domaine le Sang des Cailloux
Cuvée Azalaïs Vacqueyras Red Rhone Blend 2015
Very funky and reductive at first. Really came around after 30 mins in the glass. A terrific wine once its opened up. I would give this a couple hours in a decanter if at home. With Bob & Karen Thompson at Watershed @ The Owl — 3 years ago
