Note di degustazione
Tasted blind. Deep, glowing crimson with a little evolution at the rim. Rich, ripe, ambitious and appealing nose. Good tannin management compared with B [Ch Pavie]. Lots of ripe Merlot fruit with a seasoning of Cabernet Franc and, although there is still some fine tannin, the fruit is still there and seems set to outlast the tannin. Not classic but a good example of the modern style. Ch Angélus? (JR)

The 2011 Angélus has a lovely bouquet with ample red fruit, fireside hearth/ash and a touch of Earl Grey. Fine definition and lift here. The palate is very well balanced with supple tannins, fine bead of acidity, quite sensual for the growing season with a judicious plushness and a sense of breeding on the finish. Superb. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.
Tasted blind. Mid garnet. Savoury and lifted. Sturdy, meaty finish with a bit of heat. But a bit drying on the end. (JR)
From a vintage that is slowly coming around and drinking well, the 2011 Angelus offers a beautiful elegance and purity as well as the ripe, sexy style of the estate. Based on 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc brought up in new barrels, it's still ruby colored and offers ample blackcurrants, spice box, dried earth as well as medium to full body, beautiful balance, sweet tannins, and a great finish. A terrific wine from this estate, it will continue drinking nicely for another two decades or more.
