#37 Top 100 Cellar Selection 2019. This is a rich, perfumed wine, with dense tannins and intense layers of black plum and spice. The palate is firmly built yet broadened out by plump dark-fruit tones and honed by a solid, dry core. Drink from 2025.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Sporting a deep garnet-purple color, the 2016 Angélus erupts from the glass with powerful notes of blackberry pie, ripe black cherries and juicy black plums with an undercurrent of star anise, rose petals, chocolate mint, pencil shavings and woodsmoke plus a waft of allspice. The palate is pure decadence. Medium to full-bodied, rich and generously fruited, this wine is by no means heavy—it positively glimmers with freshness and vivacity, lending an ethereal nature to all that richness and power, beautifully framed by velvety tannins and finishing with epic length. The generosity, layers and plushness make for an absolutely DELICIOUS drink right now, but I'd suggest waiting 3-5 more years for the fireworks to really begin.

Tar, cherry, dried flower and subtle earth aromas. Still youthful, with some primary dark fruit. Medium- to full-bodied, it shows vibrancy and a velvety profile that carries the wine to a deep, chiseled finish. Drink now or hold. 10 Years On retrospective.

The 2016 Angélus has a fragrant bouquet with blackberry, bilberry, blackcurrant pastille and light floral scents, the Cabernet Franc taking second place to the Merlot. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. Crisp acidity, perhaps more finessed than I was expecting and not as intense as after bottling, but nimble and vibrant, especially on the finish. This oozes class. Tasted at Bordeaux Index’s 10 Year On tasting in London.

The 2016 Château Angélus is incredibly elegant and finesse-driven, with a soaring perfume of crème de cassis, white flowers, crayon, forest floor, and spice. Compared to the 1996 by the Angélus team, it has a deep, layered style, its oak is beautifully integrated, there are ample tannins, and despite leaning toward the finesse-driven side of the spectrum, it has thrilling depth of fruit and length. It’s a brilliant wine from this estate that will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and keep for 30+ years or more. The blend of the 2016 is 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, brought up all in new French oak.

Wine Spectator

This goes for the gusto, with a deep and broad swath of well-roasted tobacco, espresso and loam out front. The core of dark currant and fig fruit will have to catch up, but this red has the energy and juicy drive to eventually do so. When it melds fully, this will be a smoky, alluring, tobacco-fueled wine. Best from 2024 through 2040.

The Wine Independent

Angelus has a deep and dark nose, very powerful, with lots of stamina and round, velvety red fruits. It is spicy and classic – loaded with red berries and mature fruit and is quite an impressive glass. Not completely ready yet Angelus would benefit from another 4-5 years of cellaring.

Decanter

Clay-rich soils were utilised more in this dry season, with 100% new oak maturation (foudres and barrels). An intoxicating melange of blueberry, plum, cassis with spices and smoky oak on the nose and palate. Very fine texture, smooth tannins, this Angélus seems a little closed at the moment but should blossom with a further 3-4 years in bottle and have a fine future.
