Angelus 2012
CRITIC REVIEWS
Julia Harding MW
Inky with black core. Sweet charred oak is the first impression. And the second. But there is finesse to the tannins and some nice (hidden) dark fruit. Firm grip on the finish and just about fresh, though it is very hard to judge this wine now when the oak is all dominant. Tannin texture is very fine and I am sure this will become elegant if you can be patient enough and wait for the oak to subside. Too oaky for my taste but I know it will be admired by others. (JH)

Clear depth of fruit expression at 10 years old, blueberry, black cherry, raspberry, liquorice, cocoa bean, with grilled cedar oak still dominant but welcoming, adding glamour, confidence and depth to the flavour without being overwhelming. This is a brilliant wine, succulent and at the begining of a long drinking window. This was the year that Angélus was promoted to Premier Grand Cru Classé A, in a move that it turned out would only last a decade until they withdrew from the classification, giving an extra frisson from this vantage point.
