Château Canon-La-Gaffelière--Vintage 1994
Saint-Emilion, grand cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: This is one of the top estates of St.-Emilion. The ambitious proprietor, Comtes de Neipperg, is to be commended on the terrific job he has done at Canon-la-Gaffelière since the mid-eighties. A dense purple color is accompanied by strikingly pure aromas of Provencal olives, jammy cassis, and smoky pain grillé notes. Ripe and fat, this medium to full-bodied, moderately tannic, muscular yet elegant wine needs another 2-4 years of cellaring. It should keep for 16-17 years. It is an impressive, well-balanced 1994. 90 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #109, February 1997
