Chateau Canon La Gaffeliere 1993

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (89)

Canon La Gaffeliere has been one of Bordeaux's bright shining stars since the late eighties. The great success this property has enjoyed continues with a sterling effort in 1993. The 1993 boasts a saturated, opaque, plum/purple color, and a knock-out bouquet of jammy blackcurrants, licorice, smoke, and flowers. Full-bodied and highly-extracted, with a sweet, expansive chewiness, this super-concentrated, moderately-tannic wine will drink well young and age gracefully for 15 or more years. This is an outstanding, impressively-endowed 1993.

Winespectator (92)

One of the great young wines we have tasted this year. A stupendous, silky, full-bodied red of great character and depth, deep color and tons of pure fruit. Layered with mineral, mint, blackberry and dried herb flavors. Long finish and well-integrated tannins make it tempting now.
