Really bright in the glass, brimming with health, such a classic Canon nose, defined and pure, quite restrained andmodest, but so precise. On the palate, amazing freshness, wonderful length and beautiful, smoky, cedar and plum fruit, I like this verymuch.

Opaque purple-black colored, the nose is fantastically floral, bursting from the glass with notes of candied violets, red roses and lavender over a core of plumpreserves, wild blueberries and black raspberries with touches of garrigue, tilled soil, wild fungi and crushed rocks plus a waft of powdered cinnamon. Themedium-bodied palate is like a tightly coiled spring, featuring beautifully knit layers of black and red fruits, earth and floral notes within a firm, fine-grained frame and bags of freshness, finishing long andmineral laced. This is a far cry from the old-school style of TroplongMondot froma few years back, and it is incredibly impressive.

In St Emilion and Pomerol conditions are very different, being further inland they suffer a slightly harsher climate…which tends to accentuate the body and structure of wines made here.
