Canon la Gaffeliere - 2019 (750ml) Cognac Because of this

Because of this

Estrella Damm has been brewed following the original 1876 recipe

but there’s certainly more than Peat Chimney

The ambitious and very expensive 2004 Pujanza Cisma is something of a gamble

just more elegant

Canon la Gaffeliere - 2019 (750ml) Cognac Because of thisEnticing warm plum, fig and blackberry compote notes roll through, inlaid with singed alder and tobacco accents. There's a light tug of warm cast iron and another wave of fruit after that, all supported by well buried chalky minerality. This is a very strong showing and has put on some weight since the barrel tasting. Best from 2020 through 2040. 6,665 cases made. JM Wine Spectator 95 points
