Exceptional clarity and transparency of fruit here, showing blackberries, red berries and cedar with violet and rose undertones and a layer of crushed stones and chalk. Medium- to full-bodied with a caressing mouthfeel. Tannins are dense but not heavy. The long, flavorful finish is very spicy with white pepper and cloves. Pure and complex. 60% merlot and 40% cabernet franc. Give this four or five years to come around. Try after 2029.

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.

Decanter

Great aromatics, dark fruit but clean and pristine, perfumes of blackcurrant and purple flowers. Supple and succulent, an instant buzz of energy and tang, though with great balance on the palate. Cool, fresh tension; stoniness, flesh, warmth and depth. Concentration with creamy spiced notes, delicate yet vibrant, too. Crunchy finish with a sweetening acidity. A stunning wine that brings a smile to your face. Perfect harmony. Organic.

Jeb Dunnuck

Brought up 22 months in a mix of new barrels, foudre, and once-used barrels, the 2023 Château Angelus is based on a classic blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc. Gorgeously pure crème de cassis and black cherries are supported by graphite, spring flowers, smoke, and a terrific sense of crushed stone. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate and has a pure, graceful, layered mouthfeel, ultra-fine, focused tannins, and a great finish. It's about as classy as they come. Drink this aristocratic, layered, sensationally complete Saint-Emilion from 2030-2060.

The 2023 Angelus is seriously impressive. Readers will find a wine of notable textural intensity and resonance. Dark-fleshed fruit, new leather, lavender and dried herbs race across the palate. The 2023 is pliant and expansive, with gorgeous mid-palate depth and a long, sustained finish. It was an unusual year, one marked by an early harvest for the Merlots and a late harvest for the Francs. The Merlot saw 70% new wood, while the Franc was aged in equal parts foudre and smaller French oak barrels, some new, some once-filled. This is an important vintage for the Grand Vin.

Wine Advocate

The 2023 Angélus has turned out very well in bottle, confirming the expectations formed at the en primeur stage. Wafting from the glass with aromas of dark wild berries, flowers and spices, subtly framed by toast, it is medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and ample, built around a lively core of fruit and framed by powdery, sweet tannins, concluding with a long, perfumed finish. The harvest took place between September 14 and October 2.

The Wine Independent

The 2023 Angelus is structured and fine with the telltale freshness of the vintage mixed with red berries and a precise fruity expression. It has an impressive fruity core and lots of cassis and red berries to offer in the taste and should develop nicely. However, it also has a serious backbone of masked tannins that should support this beauty in its development. It should be able to merit an even higher rating with further development.
