Nez de fruits rouges frais. Bouche précise, jus croquant, élégante, séveuse, tannins souples, finale longue, sapide.

Vivacité mais aussi plénitude, allonge fruitée, puissance et élégance.

The Vrai Canon Bouché is a terrific Canon-Fronsac. Dark red and black fruit leather, tobacco and menthol are nicely delineated throughout. There is good energy to the flavors here, not to mention plenty of drive, much of that probably coming from the high proportion (40 percent) of Cabernet Franc in the blend. Simon Blanchard consults.

Dark purple. Heady, much richer than the typical Fronsac. Thick and sweet. Black fruits almost overripe. Not for me, but some may enjoy the concentration. Bitter finish.

Shows good energy throughout here, with a bramble, dried anise and singed juniper hints accenting a mix of currant and raspberry paste flavors. Feels very solid already.—J.M.
