Angelus 2014

Angelus

Case Format: 12x75cl

Max score: 96.0

As one of the largest and most lauded Saint-Émilion estates, Angélus creates opulent, perfumed and complex wines laced with silky tannins and elegant fruits. A layered, complex nose, it boasts an abundant flavour profile of red berries and floral notes that are “bursting at the seams”. Despite only comprising a third of its blend, Cabernet Franc takes centre stage, adding a smattering of spice and aromatics to the wine. The remaining Merlot (c.51%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (c.2%) contributes to a traditional Bordeaux blend that is both luscious and well-rounded.

Ripe damson-plum, candied-orange and spice aromas pour from the glass of this ripe and generous St.-Emilion. Impressive tannin structure behind all the richness, the bitter-chocolate and expresso notes at the warm and long finish underlining the ripe fruit very neatly. Still so much life and so many years ahead of it. Drink or hold. Château Quintus vertical tasting. SP.

James Lawther MW

Hubert de Boüards 30th vintage. 50% Merlot, 50% Cabernet Franc from 60-year-old vines. Fine, racy nose of violet notes. Velvety texture. Ample tannins but precise, fine and long. Again, real precision in this wine. Structured, seductive and long ageing.
