Carillon d’Angelus 2016

Angelus

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 95.0

First released in the 1987 vintage, Carillon d’Angélus has since acquired its own distinct identity, separate from its bigger, brasher older sibling. Now with its own winery, Carillon is spread over the cooler plots of the Angélus estate, enabling this Merlot dominant blend to retain its vigour. Representing 20% of the Château’s production, its second wine still receives the same top-class treatment as its first. In turn, this is a highly respected wine that is appreciated for its juicy black fruit aromas, velvety tannins and timeless elegance.

Rather sumptuous nose. Tarry start with lots of sweet black fruit and drama. Pretty tight and for the moment hard work, but it should relax with time.

The 2016 Carillon d’Angelus is a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. Medium to deep garnet in color, it bursts from the glass with notes of baked black plums, boysenberry preserves, and chocolate-covered cherries, leading to wafts of tar, tilled soil, black truffles, and underbrush. Medium-bodied, the palate is taut, muscular and chewy with loads of earthy layers on the long finish. It can be approached now but can cellar with confidence for 10-12 years+.
