This shows beautifully sensibility of generous fruit and soft and velvety tannins with an undertone of chocolate and cedar. Full-bodied. pure and supple with a direct delivery of vibrant fruit and real terroir expression. Savory at the end with hazelnut and crunchy-seed flavors. Reality check here. Incredible fruit quality. und vergibt ihm 99-100 Punkte.

Very gutsy in feel. with lots of tobacco leaf. loam and espresso notes swirling around a core of steeped black currant and warm fig fruit flavors. The muscular finish is a jumble right now. but there's ample acidity coiled within. A wine that clearly wants to stand out from the pack.

“This year we have slightly less Cabernet Franc in the blend because we are only using the oldest vines. planted by my grandfather. as a tribute.” Stephanie de Boüard-Rivoal said. “These are 60- to 80-year-old Cabernet Franc vines.” From 2018. 10% of the entire Angelus crop will be aged in large oak foudres. “These produce tighter. more perfumed. brighter wines from less oxygen exposure.” Stephanie commented. The 2018 Angelus is blended of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc. to be aged 18-22 months in barriques. 100% new. plus two new foudres. Deep garnet-purple in color. it slips slowly. sensuously out of the glass with beautiful black raspberries. kirsch. warm plums and red roses scents. building in intensity to reveal chocolate-covered cherries. raspberry coulis. black tea. woodsmoke and powdered cinnamon notions with a waft of black olives and charcuterie. Medium to full-bodied. the palate delivers a wonderfully profound. multilayered. seamless experience of red and black fruits intertwined with earth. spice and floral notions and framed by exquisitely ripe. satiny tannins. finishing with amazing freshness and length. Incredibly. finely. expertly. seamlessly knit. Stunning.

The 2018 Angelus is a fabulous wine from the de Bouard family. Often much more severe when it is young. the 2018 possesses stunning depth and remarkable finesse. I don't think I have tasted a young Angelus with this much finesse. In this vintage. Angelus is 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc. which is to say more Merlot and less Franc than in the past. which may or may not represent more of a longer term shift. To be sure. the 2018 is glorious. with generous. pliant fruit and silky tannins that add to its considerable allure. Creme de cassis. new leather. spice and licorice build into the striking finish. What a wine.

Cuvee:65 Merlot / 35Cabernet Franc Mittlere Dichte. nicht zu konzentriert. schöne intensive Nase. die Cabernetwürze kommt sehr gut durch. Die Nase ist weniger vom Holz geprägt. sie bietet feinere Aromen. Der Wein gewinnt wirklich am Gaumen an Dichte und Struktur. Die Tannine sind super fein und poliert. die Länge ist sehr gut. ganz sauberes Finale. und vergibt ihm 95-98 Punkte.
