Stephen Tanzer's IWC, May 2005

Full red. Wild, carnal aromas of red fruits, truffle, licorice, toffee and smoke. Sweet, lush and smooth, but with an edge of acidity firming the red berry, smoke, truffle, earth and animal fur flavors. This wine was only racked twice: in June of 2003, and then a second time prior to the bottling in June of 2004.

Wine Spectator, March 2005

Attractive aromas of Indian spices, red berries and pressed flowers. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine tannins. It builds on your palate. Very well-made for the vintage. Best after 2007. 3,000 cases made. –JS

About Winery

Château Canon-la-Gaffelière is owned by Comte von Neipperg. Located in the centre of the St.Emilion appellation, due south of St.Emilion town, the property has a similar climate to that enjoyed by both St.Emilion and Pomerol: more continental than the maritime Médoc, with generally more spring rainfall, though less in summer and winter. Canon-la-Gaffelière's 19.5 hectares of vineyards (Merlot 55%, Cabernet Franc 40%, Cabernet Sauvignon 5%) lie at the base of the`Côtes', on relatively flat, sandy-gravel topsoil and sandy-clay subsoil. Vinification at Canon-la-Gaffelière is traditional: up to 4 weeks in temperature-controlled-wooden vats followed by up to 18 months' maturation in oak barrels, 50% new. It is classified as a Grand Cru Classé.
