Angelus 2001
CRITIC REVIEWS
Jane Anson
Easily one of the most impressive Bordeaux 2001s that you can find. Full of liquorice, lashings of textured chocolate shavings, smoked earth and black truffle - powerful, fragrant and intense. Grilled almond smoke on the nose as it opens, a wine that keeps on delivering. Very few bottles of this left at the estate, and it is worth savouring. 100% new oak.

Tasted at Farr Vintners’ vertical from ex-chateau magnum. The Chateau Angelus 2001 has a very fresh, mint-tinged bouquet with fine delineation, with just a touch of dark cherries, Dorset plum and orange peel. Fine delineation and the oak is gradually melting into the fabric of the wine. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly raw entry. Fresh and vibrant, just a little reserve towards the tannic finish, indeed, as it grows into adolescent it is becoming a self-styled “classic” Saint Emilion, less sexy but more cerebral than a couple of years ago. Great backbone here, surfeit with freshness and vitality with a touch of spice and white pepper on the aftertaste. Tasted October 2011.
