VINS ROUGES
1. Château d’Aiguilhe, Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux “A terrific effort from this large and immaculately maintained property on the clay-limestone slopes of the Côtes de Castillon, the 2019 d'Aiguilhe exhibits aromas of cherries and cassis mingled with notions of burning embers, licorice and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a mineral finish, it's intelligently matured in tank and large-format oak as well as small barriques. Drink Date: 2021 - 2039.” 92 pts, Wine Advocate 392749 $50 2. Château Angélus, St‑Émilion Grand Cru (L) “Based on a final blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Château Angélus is knockout stuff, and while I'm not sure it matches the perfect 2018, it's not far off. Gorgeous notes of redcurrants, blueberries, sandalwood, dried flowers, vanilla, and forest floor are just some of its nuances, and it hits the palate with medium to full body, a perfectly balanced, seamless mouthfeel, beautifully ripe tannins, and a great, great finish. It's already approachable (this was best on day two) yet will keep for another 30+ years.” 98 pts, Jeb Dunnuck 39824, 76193 2 bottle limit $1,000
