Croix Canon 2012

Maturing but still very much on the fruit, and with generous wood influence on display, this is a wine to tuck in the cellar for another 2-4 years for maximum enjoyment. Tannins are supple and clearly ripe, alcohol a generous 14%, and length is solid, and the palate is saturated with black fruit and spice. The ensemble is buoyed with firm acids in the old world style. Solid. Tasted November 2018. Value Rating:**1/2 Score – 92. (John Szabo, MS, winealign.com, Dec. 5, 2018)
