Hecho de una mezcla de 70% de
Merlot y 30% de
Cabernet Franc, la cosecha de 2012 de la
Chateau Canon es codicioso
y cremoso. A pesar de las condiciones climáticas atípicas en invierno, húmedas en primavera, secas en verano y tormentosas con bellas amplitudes térmicas en otoño, este
Saint-Emilion 2012 es un
hermoso vino denso y concentrado.
De una hermosa complejidad aromática,
Château Canon 2012 ofrece un bouquet
muy frutal donde fresas y frambuesas se entremezclan con especias. La estructura de esta cosecha es
suave,
flexible, pero combina
finura y
feminidad.
Tasted from several bottles in recent months, the 2012 Canon is a stupendous wine for the vintage and if anything, it appears to be improving with each encounter. It clearly serves up more than enough volume and fruit intensity on the nose compared to the impressive 2011 Canon: it is very pure with black cherries, wild strawberry, asphalt and blood orange. This is very well defined and beautifully focused. The palate is medium-bodied, silky smooth and with that thrilling sense of frisson. There is so much vivacity wound up inside this Saint Emilion that it would not surprise me if it turns out to be one of the very best in 2012. Tasted January 2017.
