Critic reviews
"Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Canon features wonderfully expressive notes of dried mulberries, stewed plums and baked black cherries with hints of mocha, bay leaves and fallen leaves. Full-bodied, opulent and super spicy, it has a plush texture with a racy line supporting the hedonic fruit, finishing with jaw-dropping persistence."

"The 2010 Canon is a little disappointing on the nose in the context of a strong Right Bank flight. It feels a little loose-knit, lacks the same pixelation as its peers. It almost reminds me of a mature Chambolle-Musigny! The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly minty opening. Matters improve with fine structure, gentle grip and some lovely black truffle notes towards the finish. Perhaps there are better bottles out there? Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal."

"Wonderful nose with strawberries, cherry blossom, and vanilla. The red opens up with blueberries, milk chocolate and sweet licorice. Full and juicy on palate with pure dark fruit and velvety tannins. So nicely layered texture and long in the finish with red fruit and crushed chalk. The texture is superb. Drink from 2018."
James Suckling, November 2013, JamesSuckling.com
"I loved the 2010 Château Canon. This powerhouse of a Canon boasts a dense ruby/plum hue with just a touch of lightening at the rim. Ripe black cherries, currants, smoke tobacco, truffly earth, and chocolate all define the aromatics, and it's full-bodied on the palate, with a dense, layered mid-palate, velvety tannins, and a gorgeous finish. Drink 2025-2042."

"Tasted blind. Deep garnet. Inviting floral note as well as bright dried-cherry fruit. Beautifully silky and fresh on the palate. Great finesse, elegance and balance. Juicy even with all this fine tannin."
Julia Harding, February 2020, JancisRobinson.com
"Vivid, crystal-clear fruit aromas, juicy black cherry, ripe plum and succulent blackberry, combining with artisanal dark chocolate, violet and fresh tobacco leaf, making this wine incredibly complex and still very youthful. Its layered and finely textured palate almost hides powerful density, with freshness to balance opulence, leading to a long finish. Serve with beef Wellington. Or cellar for 10 years for more tertiary flavours."
