Chateau Canon 1988

Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (89)

The 1988's deep ruby/purple color exhibits more opaqueness and depth than the 1989. The spicy, mineral and cassis-scented bouquet has more focus and dimension. In the mouth, there is an elevated level of tannins, in keeping with the style of the 1988 vintage, but unlike many 1988s, this wine possesses excellent, even outstanding concentration, plenty of length, and a sense that the yields were kept conservative, as there is an inner strength and depth that suggests this wine will ultimately outperform and outlive the 1989.

Chocolate and blackberry character on the nose, with hints of tobacco. Medium- to full-bodied, with slightly chewy tannins and a medium finish. A little dry, but some very pretty fruit underneath.
