Chateau La Gaffeliere 2009 Guanciale This long steep curved slateMedium to deep garnet colored, the 2009 Canon la Gaffeliere leaps from the glass with bold baked blackberries, plum preserves and blueberry compote notes with nuances of licorice, sweaty leather, tapenade and garrigue. It is quite mature and open in the medium bodied mouth, with a firm, chewy frame and lively backbone, finishing with loads of savory meaty layers.
