James Suckling

This is wonderfully refined and balanced with such pretty depth. Full-bodied and so polished and pure. Subtle at first, then it takes off and keeps coming. Sophisticated. 60% merlot and 40% cabernet franc.

Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. Impressing nose with very complex and concentrated character, aromatic purity and depth, ripe blackberries, cherries, hints of blackcurrants, liquorice and fragrant spiciness. On the palate a wine with great precision and complex character, refined tannins, fine acidity and wonderful fruit. Aromatic depth, great freshness and excellent length coming together, creating the most elegant Angélus ever tasted en primeur.

Decanter

Supple damson fruits, I love the aromatics on this and the striking fruits. Silky in texture, balanced and elegant, there are big tannins that slowly but surely creep up on you through the palate. This is a sleek, poised, and confidently-constructed Angélus, with depth to the olive, chocolate, cassis body and a crushed mint leaf kiss on the finish. As often with this vintage it is not an exuberant hug, it is more about discreet power and gorgeous stealing-up of flavours and textures giving depth and subtle power. 3.62pH, aged in large sized oak cass and oak barrels. A yield of 37hl/ha.

Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, subtle brightening of the edges. Fresh red forest berries, red currants, fine herbal spices, a touch of precious wood, a floral touch of rose oil, violets, orange zest are highlighted. Juicy red cherry fruit, peppery texture, freshly structured, a hint of black tea, mineral, looks light-footed, has good length and sure development potential, a subtle Angélus that fits in wonderfully with the trilogy of recent years.
