Country: France / Barrel sample
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Bordeaux
Winery: Château Canon / Saint-Émilion
90-92 Barrel sample. On the austere side initially, but then ripe fruit comes through, giving a wine that has potential power. There is a suspicion of super-ripe Merlot, a plump cushion. But the tannins will keep it together.
