Owner's words
Atmospheric shifts. Shivers and sweats. A stoic rock facing despotic weather. Canon thwarts all expectations. Flowers, subtlety, length. The 2023 vintage soars delicately. Air, the distiller of infinite nuances that blend and expand. In these high spheres, a floral chorus and raspberry notes. Pepper, mint. Ethereal hook. Limestone reigns in silence. Length of shivered tongues — saline climax. All the intensity of the Canon signature.
