95 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Super-ripe fruit dominates this generous, full-bodied wine. Its tannins and structure are wrapped within rich, expressive fruit, while the finish retains excellent freshness.

95 Points - Wine Spectator

Broad and impressive, with mouthwatering tobacco and warm ganache notes leading into layers of fig, blackberry and black currant preserves. Already remarkably well-defined despite its firm structure. Tempting now, but best left in the cellar. Best from 2020 through 2035.

93 Points - James Suckling

A big, rich wine with abundant ripe black fruit aromas and supple, dry tannins supporting its full-bodied palate. Drink from 2020, although already delicious.

92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2014 Canon La Gaffelière offers a fruit-driven, powerful bouquet of raspberry, kirsch, mulberry and delicate honeyed notes that are both pure and seductive. Medium-bodied, it delivers saturated red plum and tart cherry flavors with lingering spice, fine structure and excellent poise through the finish. A beautifully crafted, delicious Saint-Émilion that will age gracefully.

90+ Points - Decanter

Certified organic. Fresh, vibrant aromas of dark fruit lead into a lively palate with excellent vineyard expression and finely textured tannins.
