The 2019 Canon-la-Gaffeliere is quite punchy and bold on the nose. Blackberry and raspberry fruit, cedar and mint emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins, quite plush yet cohesive, fanning out towards the velvety finish with a brush of white pepper on the aftertaste. One of the more approachable Saint-Emilion wines in this vintage. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2024-2040
The 2019 Canon la Gaffeliere has turned out brilliantly, bursting from the glass with a dramatic bouquet of wild berries, blood orange, exotic spices, rose petals, violets and burning embers. Full-bodied, ample and layered, it’s supple and perfumed, with a deep core of lively fruit, melting tannins and a long, saline finish. This contains the highest proportion of Cabernet Franc of any of Stephan Von Neipperg’s wines, which no doubt helps to account for its singular personality.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2050
