Tasting profile
Smooth and silky on the palate with notable richness, showing red fruit and bramble alongside soft vanilla and hints of caramel from age, while still carrying enough tannin and fruit to feel lively. A long, smoky finish makes it a versatile match for richer meats.

What reviewers say
“Fantastisk! Moden med hint av karamell. Men likevel spenstig med taniner og frukt til å takle reinsdyr og tyttebærkokt pære. En vin jeg ble sittende å "sniffe" fra glasset,”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Château Canon Saint-Émilion Grand Cru (Premier Grand Cru Classé) lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile

- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 3,702.
