Tasting Notes

There's loads of new wood in this red, with ripe berry character underneath. Medium- to full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a vanilla finish. A bit too much wood for my taste, but this is attractive. The second wine of Canon. Best after 2009.

Medium-deep garnet. Intense aromas of warm plums and blackberries plus pronounced spiciness - cinnamon, allspice and cardamom. Mocha. A faint (pleasant) whiff of VA. Medium to high acid, really nice concentration, medium+ level of fine tannins, long finish.
