2018 Canon-la-Gaffelière, St-Emilion

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2018 Canon-la-Gaffelière, St-Emilion (97VN, 96JS, (94-96WE), 96WS, 95CK, 95DC, 95JD, 95RP, 95TWI). Vinous: "The 2018 Canon La Gaffelière is bright, punchy and full of character, just as it was from barrel. Sage, blood orange, mocha and spice add pretty aromatic top notes to a core of inky red/purplish berry fruit. All the elements are so well balanced in this super-expressive Saint-Émilion. Bright floral and savory Franc notes punctuate the salivating finish, mineral-drenched finish. The 2018 needs a lot of air to open, but when it does, it is dynamite. (AG)" (03/2021)
