Canon-la-Gaffeliere - 2015 (750ml) Size:750ml dense 2017 Chateauneuf du PapeEnticing warm plum, fig and blackberry compote notes roll through, inlaid with singed alder and tobacco accents. There's a light tug of warm cast iron and another wave of fruit after that, all supported by well buried chalky minerality. This is a very strong showing and has put on some weight since the barrel tasting. Best from 2020 through 2040. 6,665 cases made. JM Wine Spectator 95 points
