Note di degustazione
A big, powerful wine, the 2012 Vrai Canon Bouché is not shy nor lacking in intensity. The flavors are bold and punchy throughout, with super-ripe fruit pushed forward and good overall resonance. This is an especially ripe style, but the tannins still need time to soften. Getting fully ripe tannins is a challenge and requires waiting. As a result the fruit is on the racy side here. Still, the 2012 is a delicious, everyday drinker. The blend is 83% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 2% Malbec, done in French oak barrels, 60% new. Simon Blanchard is the consulting winemaker.

Abundant minerality, blueberry and black raspberry fruit as well as a floral note are present in this medium-bodied, elegant, classic Canon Fronsac. It is medium-bodied with moderate tannin, but precocious fruit. The color is dense, almost opaque ruby/purple. I suggest drinking it over the next decade.
Deep dark cherry colour. A touch of mocha at first but there's rich dark fruit under that. On the palate, a little leaner but really juicy and fresh and expressive. Some oak sweetness on the end. (JH)
