Feb. 23, 2013 CHÂTEAU CANON-LA GAFFELIÈRE St.-Emilion 2010 (96 points, $103)

This takes the power of the vintage and puts it in its pocket for later, preferring instead to let mouthwatering briar, loganberry, mulberry and blackberry fruit strut its way forward, enlivened with roasted wood spice and supported by suavely but thoroughly embedded iron-tinged structure. Should cruise for two decades. Best from 2016 through 2035. —James Molesworth
