  "55 % Merlot, 37 % Cabernet Franc, 8 % Cabernet Sauvignon. 24 hl/ha. Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Die Nase ist voll schwarzer Dörrpflaumen und Darjeelingnoten. Er zeigt dabei eine füllige Würze und auch eine erstaunliche Tiefe. Im Untergrund dunkle Schokonoten, Malznuancen und Lakritze. Im Gaumen sublim, samtig und bedeutend weicher als die anderen Neippbergweine in diesem Jahrgang. Der Nachklang ist schon fast überwürzig und man kann sich jetzt schon auf die sekundäre Aromatik dieser grossartigen Tiefe in der Flaschenreife freuen. Hier scheinen die grossartigen Cabernets die Wende zu bewirken. Der Nachklang ist legendär. Dieser grossartig gelungene Canon-La-Gaffelière gehört zu den ganz wenigen Top-Weinen des Libournais in diesem nicht einfachen Jahrgang."

  Wine Spectator
  "This cuts a wide swath, with mouthwatering tobacco and warm ganache notes leading the way, followed by a wave of fig, blackberry and black currant preserves. Shows remarkable definition already, even though the structure is strident. Tempting now, but just put this in the back of the cellar. Best from 2020 through 2035. 4,083 cases made, 350 cases imported."

  "Superripe fruits dominate this wine. It is generous and full in the mouth, the tannins and structure buried within the fruity richness. The finish shows ample freshness."

  "This is a big, rich wine with masses of ripe black-fruit aromas and a lot of supple, dry tannins that support the full body very nicely. Drink in 2020 but delicious now."

  "The 2014 Canon la Gaffeliere is medium to deep garnet-brick in color. Scents of fragrant soil and tobacco leaf give way to notions of dried cherries and mulberries with suggestions of dried flowers and fallen leaves. The medium-bodied palate is classically styled and nicely mature, with firm grainy tannins and well-knit freshness, finishing with a spicy kick."

  The Wine Advocate
  "The 2014 Canon la Gaffeliere has a fruit-driven, powerful bouquet with rounded raspberry, kirsch, mulberry and light honeyed scents that seem pure and seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated red plum and tart cherry fruit. There is a spicy residue on the back palate with fine structure and poise towards the finish. As ever, a well-crafted, quite delicious Canon la Gaffeliere that should age with style. If the 2014 Canon doesn't quite deliver the opulence for you, then this suits the bill."

  "Organically certified. Zesty, dark fruit, good vineyard expression. Fresh, vibrant palate. Fine, textured tannins."
