(89+) The 2007 Canon was raised in fifty percent new wood this year, which probably represents a bit more than would have been ideal for the wine, though there are absolutely no issues with its balance. The ’07 is a classic example of the vintage and is destined to be a very stylish middleweight at its apogee, as it offers up a classy nose of cherries, plums, menthol, nutskins, coffee and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is medium-full, complex and very stylish, with a fine core of fruit, lovely focus and a suave, modestly tannic and beautifully balanced finish. A classy bottle.
