2003 - 18 years old, it's old enough to legally drink itself, and vote in most of the world!! Still youthful with incredible notes of 🍒 cassis & red fruit, ripe blackberry, complemented by a hint of oaky undergrowth, great acidity, solid mouth feel and balance! Huddled close to usually expensive Pomerol and St Emilion, lies the Bordeaux appellation of Canon Fronsac. A value Vigneron Independent find - 18yrs and at it's peak, yet also could have continued to evolve and mature for another few years

Smooth and balanced acidity. Let it decant fora min of 30 min (25 yr.) Undergrowth, burnt cranberries, spicy sausage, sweet red fruits, hints of vanilla. Love the complexity for less than 20 EUR
