The wine has a deep dark ruby colour with an impressive nose, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon at 60%. The palate has a powerful attack of flavour with intense notes of fruit, black currants and cassis. It is a tannin-rich wine with beautiful light wood tones. In short, complex, that is coming into its prime drinking window now.
Decanter: 92/100 Points, "The Pagès family, which has a group of estates in the Médoc, has produced a rich, concentrated wine at this château. While packed with black currant fruit from the 60% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, it also has a firm layer of tannins that will allow it to age. Drink from 2021." Roger Voss, December 2017
The 2014 Canon has a very well-defined, precise bouquet with ebullient raspberry and wild strawberry scents infused with minerals. The aromatics here are utterly captivating. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and very well-judged acidity. There is tension and poise to this Saint Emilion, gently fanning out with a delicate spicy finish that lingers long in the mouth. Though surely destined to be over-shadowed by the extraordinary 2015, this Canon deserves a berth in your cellar.
