The 2000 Canon-La-Gaffelière is just coming into its own, as this ripe voluptuous blend of 50% Merlot 45% Cabernet Franc 5% Cabernet Sauvignon opens to seductive aromatics of dark cherries and cassis along with spices, pepper, espresso and hints of floral all take shape. Full-bodied, with a lovely polished texture and excellent concentration and depth. The finish shows nice length with notes of cassis and spices lingering on. Overall, this is a fantastic showing, which still has a long future ahead. (Best 2017-2027) - June, 2017 (JD)
