2022 La Croix Canon

The 2022 Croix Canon has turned out beautifully, mingling aromas of dark berries and cherries with hints of orange rind and petals. Medium to full-bodied, succulent and seamless, with a rich core of fruit, lively acids and a long, aromatic finish, it will offer a broad drinking window. As I've written before, recent vintages of this cuvée have confirmed its status as one of Bordeaux's finest second labels (though since it derives from dedicated holdings below Berliquet, it's not a "second wine" in the strict sense).
