Christian Balog beschreibt den Wein wie folgt:
96-99 Punkte
72 Merlot / 28 Cabernet Sauvignon Erntezeitpunkt: zwischen 7. September und 5. October Alkoholgehalt: 14.50 Vol.% Die Farbe ist konzentriert und dicht. die Nase bietet sehr schöne reife und dunkle Fruchtnoten. Die Frische kommt sehr schön durch. Das Finale ist sehr lang und ganz klar. Fantastische Aromen im Nachhall. etwas Marzipan. Und wieder durften wir die einzelnen Elemente des Canon bei den Fassproben erschmecken. Jedes Fass von den jeweiligen Fasslieferanten gibt eine weitere Komponente / Dimension in den Wein. Immer eine grosse Freude direkt auf Chateau Canon zu verkosten ( 02.04.2019).
James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Canon 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:
Blackberries and tar with wet-earth and dark-bark aromas. Dark-chocolate and brownie notes, too. It’s full-bodied with creamy tannins and a round, caressing finish. Lovely focus and intensity, though dense and layered. Extremely creamy and polished. Really precise and bespoke. It already opens beautifully on the palate. Drink after 2025.
Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Canon 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:
A blend of 72% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Canon has a pH of 3.69 and 14% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple in color, it tumbles effortlessly out of the glass with a gorgeous perfume of candied violets, preserved plums, black cherry compote and Ceylon tea with hints of kirsch, powdered cinnamon, chocolate box and fertile loam. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with juicy black fruit layers, supported by plush, oh-so-soft tannins and well-knit freshness, finishing long and fragrant. 97+
Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Canon 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:
The 2018 Canon is every bit as magnificent from bottle as it was from barrel. Maybe more so. Vertical and explosive in the glass, Canon sizzles with tension and vibrancy. Readers will find a majestic, soaring Grand Cru Classé that captures all the magic of Saint-Émilion's limestone plateau. Canon exudes mind-blowing precision and deliciousness. It is another magnificent effort from Technical Director Nicolas Audebert and his team.
Jeb Dunnuck bewertet den Chateau Canon 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:
The Grand Vin is the 2018 Château Canon, which is based on 72% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc brought up in 52% new French oak. Its incredible bouquet delivers richness paired with amazing freshness and precision, offering loads of crème de cassis and darker berry fruits intermixed with classic Saint-Emilion chalky minerality, graphite, scorched earth, and spring flowers. Gorgeous on the palate as well, with medium to full-bodied richness, ultra-fine tannins, flawless balance, and again, this wonderful sense of freshness paired with ample richness, it needs 4-5 years of bottle age and will evolve for 30+ years. The 2009 and 2015 are still my favorite vintages of this wine, but this is up there with the best of them.
