Note di degustazione
The 2019 Le Carillon d'Angélus has another high-toned and quite alcoholic bouquet - you can feel the warmth from the glass and it blurs the edges. The palate is more controlled with fleshy black fruit. The oak is well-integrated. Smooth in texture, the acidity is nicely judged, though the finish just lacks a bit of flair at the moment. Bottle age will benefit this wine. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

Tasted blind. High-toned notes of elderberries. Then quite drying on the palate. Rather hollow. And alcoholic. (JR)
Ratcheting up the quality significantly, the 2019 Le Carillon D'Angélus (90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc) reveals a dense purple/plum color to go with classic notes of blackcurrants, black cherries, tobacco leaf, damp earth, and spring flowers. Beautifully balanced and elegant on the palate, it has medium to full-bodied richness, present yet polished, elegant tannins, and a great finish. It's approachable today yet will be even better with 2-3 years of bottle age and have 15+ years of overall longevity.
