Canon, St. Emilion 2004 Cider 5 years old and I

5 years old and I was shocked at how it held up over the years and improved over 2-3 hours

with only the 1999 among the past vintages arriving close to its level

intense and concentrated flavors possess not only a bit more underlying tension but also notably more minerality on the explosively long and sappy finish

Perfumed aromas of black cherry

Canon, St. Emilion 2004 Cider 5 years old and I93 CellarTracker This bottle showed remarkably well. Mild bricking with aromatic nose of old library, leather and tobacco. Not the weightiest on the palate but still with cool dark fruit with minimal prune notes and no roasted effect. The finish was medium, balanced and soft. It was a quintessential Bordeaux to show a few friends what aged wine is like. Quite a bit of sediment in the bottle by the end, so stand and decant. Lost a little steam on day
