Château Canon de Brem 1996 Red (Canon-Fronsac)
- $20
From the Moueix family of Pétrus, this is a beauty that shows off all that’s good in Right Bank Merlot-dominated wines. Luscious and crammed with succulent plummy fruit, there’s so much full-bodied warmth here that you can’t stop drinking it once you start. A model of food-friendly, elegant wine.

Château Coustolle 2005 La Horse Red (Canon-Fronsac)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
It’s appropriate that this wine is served at the Crazy Horse saloon in Paris. Made from a selection of old vines, La Horse is in the modern, polished idiom, a super-ripe wine, very concentrated, packed with blackberry jelly and bitter chocolate flavors. Give it 3–4 years, but its considerable power and intensity is already there.

Château Tour Canon 2008 Red (Canon-Fronsac)
Merlot-dominated wine, structured while also ripe. The fruit flavors reveal prune and black currant along with a light, dry smoky and tannic character.

Château Tour Canon 2005 Red (Canon-Fronsac)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
Rich, but edging toward rustic, with its mature leather and berry fruits, topped by dry tannins. It is firm and smoky, in a very old style.

Château Mazeris 1996 Red (Canon-Fronsac)
- $20
Simple, light and leafy. Not a lot of oomph here. Some light, dry raspberry fruit and plenty of wood on the palate and finish. You gotta love your oak to really enjoy this one. It’s kind of closed, and I wouldn’t bet much on its future.
