JAMES SUCKLING: "Showing al-dente fruit with raspberries, orange peel and other hints of bitter citrus. Medium-bodied with creamy and medium, round tannins leading to a salty finish. Cabernet franc really showing through. A blend of 45% cabernet franc, 35% merlot, 20% cabernet sauvignon. May be better than 2022."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Feinwürzig, schwarze Waldbeeren, ein Hauch von Kirschen, zart florale Nuancen, kandierte Zesten, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, gute Komplexität, feine Extraktsüße, balanciert, finessenreich strukturiert, reife Kirschen im Nachhall, ein delikater Stil, bereits gut entwickelt."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2023 Canon la Gaffelière offers up aromas of minty berries, plums, pencil shavings, dried herbs and bay leaf, followed by a medium to full-bodied, bright and crunchy palate underpinned by tangy acids and chalky tannins. It's a blend of 35% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon."
