Carillon d'Angelus Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2020 i trækasse

Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

The nose, with its smoke, savory herbs, flowers, black plums, licorice and espresso gets you into the mood. But it is the palate, with its rich, pure, ripe fruits, espresso, spice-box and silky, sweet, fresh plums that steal the show. Long, plush and polished, with layers of chocolate-covered cherries that go on and on, clearly, this is a new level of quality for Carillon d' Angélus. Enjoy this while waiting for Chateau Angelus to mature. The wine blends 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.

James Suckling

This is very fine and racy with refined tannins that are long and really precise. It’s medium-bodied with a lovely, creamy texture. Really long and bright.

Falstaff

Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, subtle brightening of the edges. Delicate wood and nougat, ripe cherry fruit, a hint of liquorice, tobacco-like spice is underlaid. Medium complexity, red berry nuances, freshly structured, well integrated tannins, mineral finish, salty finish, a highly elegant accompaniment to dishes with freshness and pressure, perhaps the best Carillon so far.

Markus del Monego MW

Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. Aromatic nose with distinct character, ripe blackberries and mulberries, juicy plums and hints of wild strawberries, flowery components in the back-graound, mild spices with a hint of cardamom, white pepper and vanilla. On the palate well balanced with perfectly matured tannins, great elegance and precision, repeating the fruit flavour of the nose, achieving a Grand Cru Classé level. Great Wine.
