Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : The 2012 is the first truly profound Canon under the administration of the Wertheimers, the family that owns the famous haute couture house of Chanel. Improvement has been noticeable for a number of years, but this wine is remarkable, particularly in view of a more challenging vintage. The color is a healthy dark ruby/purple, and the wine offers up great minerality along with floral, black-fruited characteristics. What’s not a surprise are the nobility, elegance and finesse of this wine married with serious richness and intensity. Give it another 5-6 years and drink it over the following 20-25 years. Drink 2020-2045.
Blend : 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc.
