VINUM: "Mittelkräftiges Rubinrot; feinduftige, kalkig geprägte Nase, Sauerkirschen, Johannisbeeren, Blütentee; am Gaumen fruchtig im Auftakt, mittlerer Körper, pudrige Tannine, diese umhüllen die süsse, saftige Frucht, dazu kommt eine rassige Säure, die zusätzlich Struktur verleiht; alle Elemente in ausgezeichneter Balance; im Abgang von sehr guter Länge und mit viel Salinität. Ein finessenreicher Canon, der weniger dicht ist, als in den ganz grossen Jahren, wird früh Spass machen und hervorragend reifen."

ANSON: "This is a gorgeous Canon, with the austerity of limestone on full display, as you would expect in this vintage, but a creamy edge comes in through the mid palate. Clear precision, flesh pared from flesh, peony, peach pit, cherry stone, damson, blueberry, graphite, crayon, pumice, lemongrass, gunsmoke, this has tons of layers and waves of complexity, classical and balanced. 44hl/ha yield, organic certified. 3.35 pH. 49% new oak. Harvest 19 September to 9 October."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Soft, polished, fresh, floral, and silky, the wine is sweet with a classic, elegant style. You find depth, purity, and refinement in its character, which comes from a wealth of raspberries, red plums, strawberries, and cherries. There is vibrancy and length, and as I mentioned earlier, most importantly, what makes this exceptional is the purity of the fruits in the fresh, mineral-driven finish, which is quite an accomplishment for the vintage. The wine blends 78% Merlot with 22% Cabernet Franc.13.5% ABV. Harvesting took place on September 19 and October 9. Drink from 2029- 2050."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2024 Canon is shaping up brilliantly, wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet cherries, blackberries and raspberries mingled with notions of rose petals and spices. Medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with tangy acids (the pH is a very low 3.35) and ultrarefined tannins, it concludes with a long, mineral finish. A blend of 78% Merlot and 22% Cabernet Franc, it's the estate's first year of organic certification."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Floral, attraktive Kirschfrucht, ein Hauch von Waldbeeren, zart nach Vanille und Gewürznelken, einladendes Bukett. Mittlere Komplexität, seidig, feine Herzkirschen, integrierter Säurebogen, elegant, mineralisch-salzig im Abgang, sehr charmanter Speisenbegleiter."
