Tasting Notes

One of Canon's top efforts, this rich, intense, deeply concentrated wine is still in top-notch shape, with a big, full-intensity bouquet of ripe fruit and melted toffee. On the palate, the wine is in complete harmony, soft, rich, velvety, full bodied, and fleshy. Retasted from a half bottle in 1987, the fruit appeared to be fading. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 6/87.
