Chateau Canon, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2015 Santa Barbara County with masses of crushed blackberriesSeductive. The nose draws you in deep: Its like staring into a well of pristine dark cherries, dark plums, blackberries and mulberries. All the oak is perfectly subsumed. The palates flawless with immense depth and power and its so balanced as to appear to float. Immaculate fresh dark berry and plum flavors. Silky and deep, ribbon like finish. Perfect. 100 Pts James Suckling
