Aroma: With mouthwatering tobacco and warm ganache notes leading the way.
Palate: Fig, blackberry and black currant preserves.
Conclusion: Shows remarkable definition already, even though the structure is strident. Tempting now, the finish shows ample freshness.
Editor Choice: Organically certified.The 2014 Canon la Gaffeliere has a fruit-driven, powerful bouquet with rounded raspberry, kirsch, mulberry and light honeyed scents that seem pure and seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated red plum and tart cherry fruit. There is a spicy residue on the back palate with fine structure and poise towards the finish. As ever, a well-crafted, quite delicious Canon la Gaffeliere that should age with style. If the 2014 Canon doesn't quite deliver the opulence for you, then this suits the bill.
