A blend of 70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc aged 18 months in French oak barrels, 70% new.

The 2022 Canon Bordeaux Blend from the Saint Emilion sub-region of Bordeaux, France, has garnered exceptional acclaim from multiple professional reviewers. This wine, produced by Canon, is composed of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. It is a deep garnet-purple red wine, sealed with a cork closure.

Jeff Leve from TheWineCellarInsider.com awarded the wine a perfect score, describing it as "perfectly balanced between elegance and finesse on one side, and silky, fresh, sexiness and sensuality on the other side." He highlighted the wine’s floral bouquet and the remarkable purity of its fruit, noting that "the finish is seamless." Leve believes this vintage could surpass the 2015 Canon, recommending it be enjoyed from 2027 to 2060.

William Kelley of Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate also rated it 100 points, calling it "a magical wine" with "huge levels of concentration, vibrant acids, and beautifully refined tannins." Kelley praised its "pure, perfumed, and ineffably complete" character, emphasizing its long, saline finish and multidimensional layers.

James Suckling, who scored the wine 99 points, highlighted its "umami character" and "fine tannins," noting that despite its structure, the wine feels "almost weightless." He found it "endless on the palate" and mentioned its "electric" quality.

Jeb Dunnuck, giving the wine 99 points, called it "an incredible wine in the making," with "incredible density, a multi-layered texture, ultra-fine tannins, and integrated acidity." He believes it could be the finest vintage since 2015 and noted its potential to evolve for 30-40 years.

Jane Anson, who scored it 98 points, described the wine’s "inky intensity" and "depth and complexity." She highlighted its "creamy blue and black fruits" and "mouthwatering oyster shell finish," emphasizing its "exceptional level."

Antonio Galloni from Vinous, also scoring it 99 points, praised the wine’s "elegant and sensual" nature, noting its "subtlety and nuance more than power." He found it "seamless" and "effortless," with dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal, and spice.

Decanter rated it 98 points, describing it as "supple, shiny, oh so charming," with "density to the tannins" and "such power and concentration." The review mentioned its "vibrant, energetic" nature and "calm control and confidence."

Finally, The Wine Independent, with a score of 99 points, praised its "firm, finely grained tannins" and "amazing tension," noting the wine’s "long and perfumed" finish.

Overall, the 2022 Canon Bordeaux Blend is universally lauded for its balance, elegance, and depth, making it a standout vintage with a potential for long-term aging.
