Description
A brilliant achievement for proprietor Stefan von Neipperg, this blend of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits an exuberant, cedary bouquet revealing scents of espresso roast, chocolate, pain grille, and sweet red and black fruits. Opulent and fleshy for a 2004, this sexy beauty offers plenty of purity, symmetry, and sweet tannin. It will provide enjoyment over the next 10-15 years. Robert Parker

Tasting note
2004年的大砲嘉芙麗展現了聖艾美倫特級園的華麗風範。酒體呈深邃的紅寶石色澤,香氣迷人,帶有成熟李子的香甜和巧克力的微妙氣息。口感上,濃郁的黑櫻桃果味與活潑的酸度相得益彰,咖啡的餘韻點綴其中。細膩的單寧既有力度又不失柔順,尾韻悠長,不斷展開。這款酒完美結合了豪華與結構,是其著名產區風土的經典代表。
The 2004 Chateau Canon la Gaffeliere is a testament to the grandeur of Saint-Emilion Grand Cru. This wine exudes a deep, dark ruby-red hue, with a nose that captivates with plummy ripeness and an undercurrent of chocolatey touches. On the palate, it reveals an intense black-cherry fruit profile, elevated by a lively acidity and complemented by notes of coffee grounds. The fine tannins offer both grip and suppleness, leading to a long, evolving finish. With its combination of opulence and structure, this wine is a classic embodiment of its prestigious terroir.
