A superb whisky! Confirmation is provided by its score of 88.5/100 in Jim Murray's "Whisky Bible".
Strong colour. Very floral, vivid nose, light, well-integrated woodiness. The palate is fresh, elegant and complex with a lively, slightly spicy finish, and some notes of exotic fruit. Excellent...
Rich and hearty wine with harmonious but persistant tannins.
An aristocratic wine, taut, racy, juicy, highly digestible, with supple tannins and a velvety feel. An immense success.
Very black coffee on the nose. The wine is dense and quite tannic, with an unusual roundness from Merlot. A chameleon-like wine.
A superb nose of ripe black fruit. Pretty and juicy on the palate, with a wave of velvety tannins towards the finish.
Superb nose of stewed red fruit. Full-bodied on the palate with smooth tannins. Fruity and elegant, with good length.
This cuvée comes from a selection of two plots planted with Grenache, one in 1900 "Charbonnières", the other in 1949 "Esqueirons".
Remarkably well-structured, always elegant, with a very long finish, Château Canon La Gaffelière is a wine of remarkable nobility.
