Dynamite with a polenta board birthday dinner. Just about fully mature. So fragrant. Leather, warm gravel, savory (iodiney) minerals, ripe, rich dark cherry. Rich and balanced in the mouth. Tannins soft and pretty good acids for a ‘15. Concentrated and long. So good. — a year ago

Didn’t know what to expect from this wine. It’s been in the cellar for a while, forgotten. Grabbed it to have with some BBQ ribs, collard greens, grilled asparagus, butternut squash, and coleslaw. A dynamite choice. — 5 years ago

9.7

The 2018 Canon La Gaffelière is bright, punchy and full of character, just as it was from barrel. Sage, blood orange, mocha and spice add pretty aromatic top notes to a core of inky red/purplish berry fruit. All the elements are so well balanced in this super-expressive Saint-Émilion. Bright floral and savory Franc notes punctuate the salivating finish, mineral-drenched finish. The 2018 needs a lot of air to open, but when it does, it is dynamite.

Plum jam, ripe blackberries, and slate notes on the nose. Super fruit forward, light tannins, and smooth finish. There's a lingering dark side there, like sun-dried tomatoes. A decent wine for a great price. $6 at Plum Market — 5 years ago
