CHÂTEAU CANON-LA-GAFFELIÈRE 2010 (2)
Saint-Émilion. Premier Grand Cru Classé B
u. 2 x bn. 2 x marked labels.
This wine shows wonderfully exotic tapenade, licorice, Christmas fruitcake, cedar wood, blackberry and sweet cherry notes in its strikingly provocative aromatics. On the palate, the wine is dense and full-bodied, with stunning concentration, purity, texture and length. It is full-bodied, silky smooth and seems to have more in common with the 2009 than one might expect, although the freshness and tannin levels are slightly more elevated. Drink it over the next 20+ years. February 2013 Drink: 2013-2033 WA 95
CHÂTEAU CLOS FOURTET 2010 (3)
Saint-Émilion. Premier Grand Cru Classé B
u. 3 x bn. 3 x marked labels.
The wine has an opaque blue/black color and abundant notes of forest floor, spring flowers, black raspberry and blueberry liqueur in the aromatics along with hints of espresso and white chocolate. The wine is dense, full, rich, unctuously textured and very full-bodied, with its extravagant glycerin, fruit and extract covering the wine’s somewhat tannic structure. This is a bigger, more restrained and structured wine than the outrageously flamboyant and prodigious 2009. Give it 5-8 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 30-40 years. February 2013 Drink: 2018-2058 WA 98
