CRITIC REVIEWS
William Kelley
The 2019 Angélus bursts from the glass with a rich, dramatic nose of cherries, licorice, sweet spices and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, layered and vibrant, its broad and velvety attack segues into a layered, concentrated mid-palate thats underpinned by tangy acids and fine, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, penetrating finish. Its a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc. Its seamless, pure profile reflects the subtle shift chez Angélus away from the rich, toasty style of the 1990s and 2000s toward greater elegance and precision.
Jeb Dunnuck
Based on a final blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Château Angélus is knockout stuff, and while Im not sure it matches the perfect 2018, its not far off. Gorgeous notes of redcurrants, blueberries, sandalwood, dried flowers, vanilla, and forest floor are just some of its nuances, and it hits the palate with medium to full body, a perfectly balanced, seamless mouthfeel, beautifully ripe tannins, and a great, great finish. It doesnt have the sheer weight or richness of, say, the 1998, 2000, 2005, or even the 2009, but it doesnt lack for intensity or power, and it’s just a beautiful example of modern-day Saint-Emilion. Its already approachable (this was best on day two) yet will keep for another 30+ years.
