1996 Chateau Canon
Description
I am convinced this property will rebound given the investment and management team now in place. However, they are still trying to overcome the problems of the early nineties (i.e., tainted wines with musty aromas and flavors). The 1996 Canon is a lean, austere, delicate wine with a dark ruby color and medium body, but little intensity or length. Angular and compressed, it is likely to dry out over the next decade.

Tasting note
1996年的卡農酒莊，來自聖艾美倫特級園，呈現中等偏淺的紅寶石色澤，散發著複雜的黑果香氣，帶有巧克力的微妙風味和牛奶香草的暗示。口感上，黑色水果的風味由醒目的雪松特徵所襯托。活潑的酸度和堅實的單寧構成了酒的結構，導致中段口感略顯棱角分明。酒精含量平衡，與酒的整體風格相得益彰，儘管水果味在以雪松為主的尾韻中略顯拉長。這款有機葡萄酒在法國橡木桶中成熟，反映了葡萄園和酒窖中的精心管理，以精確的分塊處理和手工挑選葡萄。享用這款經典波爾多混釀酒前，建議醒酒一小時，搭配烤羊肉或牛肉紅酒燉菜等豐盛菜餚。
The 1996 Chateau Canon, a distinguished wine from Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, offers a medium to pale ruby-red hue, unveiling a complex bouquet of dark fruits with a chocolatey twist and hints of milky vanilla. The palate is greeted with flavors of black fruit underscored by a prominent cedar character. Lively acidity and firm tannins shape the wine's structure, leading to a somewhat angular mid-palate. The balanced alcohol content complements the wine's profile, although the fruit stretches slightly towards a cedar-dominated finish. This organic wine, matured in French oak, reflects the meticulous vineyard and cellar management, with precise plot-by-plot handling and manual grape sorting. Enjoy this classic Bordeaux blend after decanting for an hour, paired with hearty dishes like roast lamb or beef bourguignon.
