Chateau Angelus, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2019 Trocken Clean and very fruity nose

Clean and very fruity nose with hints of apple and caramel notes on a background of fresh herbs

Concentrated on the palate with a balance between power and elegance

blackcurrant jelly and kirsch

It has some up-front appeal today (no doubt due to the high Merlot content)

but a relatively modern style of wine – no oakiness

Chateau Angelus, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2019 Trocken Clean and very fruity noseRedcurrants, sweet tobacco and flowers with some sandalwood. Very perfumed and floral. So pure. Full bodied, yet so refined and layered, with a soft, compact palate and a crushed velvet mouth feel. Poised fruit at the end, together with fresh, rare wood and a light chocolate undertone to the aftertaste. This is open, yet theres so much in reserve. 60% merlot and 40% cabernet franc. Leave it in the cellar for at least eight years. 98 Pts James Suckling
