Note di degustazione
The 2001 Château Canon is drinking beautifully, with a fully mature feel in its mostly red fruits, spice, and floral notes, with some undeniable minerality in the background. It brings impressive ripeness, is medium-bodied, and has a supple, elegant mouthfeel and outstanding length. This classy, elegant, ready-to-go beauty should be drunk over the coming decade.

The 2001 Canon is a vintage that I have not encountered for a few years, and it was the surprise package of this dinner, exceeding my expectations and those of others. Impressive red berry fruit on the nose, wild strawberry and black plum, leans more towards black fruit as it unfolds in the glass, with touches of pencil box and a distinct marine influence. The palate is medium-bodied, finely-tuned with chiseled tannins. Much more minerally than anticipated, it fans out wonderfully on the finish while maintaining absolute control. It's not a flashy Canon, but one that is now peaking. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the Icons of Bordeaux dinner at Legacy Records in New York.
Fresh figs, salted crackers, blond tobacco, sweet red berries, liqourice root, all delivered with fresh acidities and tapering off to a gentle finish. Beautiful limestone character coming through also, in a vintage that was naturally sculpted and suited the character of this location. John Kolasa director, and at this point five years after the purchase of Canon by the Wertheimer brothers of Chanel.
Magnum. Meat juices, black fruit, clove, dark chocolate, even a hint of coffee. The tannin is still intact, giving fine grip on the palate. Expansive and persistent, there is lots of volume here, without being overblown. (RH)
