Details
Château Canon-La-Gaffelière--Vintage 1995
Saint-Emilion, grand cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: A massive wine, with a cigar box, chocolatey, thick, black currant and cherry-scented nose, this full-bodied wine is crammed with layers of fruit, extract, glycerin, and alcohol. Spicy yet rich, with high tannin, the 1995 Canon-La-Gaffelière will need a minimum of 5-6 years of cellaring. The finish is long and rich, and the tannin sweet rather than astringent. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2020 91 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #115, February 1998
