Available for Pre‑Order Vins Rouges Château Angélus, St‑Émilion Grand Cru
P1.
“The 2020 Angelus is a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, with the tiniest splash of Petit Verdot. It has a deep garnet‑purple color and needs considerable swirling and patience to release a whole array of red and black fruit scents ‑ kirsch, raspberry coulis, blackberry preserves and mulberries ‑ followed by hints of violets, molten licorice, tar, sassafras, and black truffles. The medium to full‑bodied palate is pure energy, featuring a firm backbone of exquisitely ripe, fine‑grained tannins and compelling tension to support the very tightly knit layers, finishing very long with a whole firework display of mineral and floral sparks.” 100 pts, The Wine Independent 371763 4 bottle limit $1,000 P2. Château d'Armailhac, Pauillac “Dried flowers, lots of pot pourri scents on the nose, very aromatic in a floral sense with some rich Cabernet blackcurrant flavours at the back. Smooth and lively, excellent acidity from the get go, this has a nice bounce and push but also a creaminess and a touch of spice so you're getting a lot of complexity in the mouth. A touch little rustic with clove, green pepper and cinnamon spice but I love the slightly textured grainy tannins and the freshness is there. Definitely learner than I was expecting, with a saline finish and wonderful crystalline aspect to the fruit. Clear, detailed, precise with a sense of classicism.” 94 pts, Decanter 465727 6 bottle limit $120 The tasting notes included in this brochure are excerpts from published reviews in Wine Advocate, Vinous, Jeb Dunnuck, Decanter, James Suckling, Wine Enthusiast, The Wine Independent and other wine critics.
