Great Bordeaux, drinking very nicely now. Decanted at the beginning of the meal and it was gorgeous from the start and improved through the meal. Delicious and generous in the restrained Bordeaux way. medium plus weight, acidity and medium tannin, which are softening nicely. Red fruits, well integrated oak toast and vanilla, some tertiary leather but this is still only at the beginning of what will be a long drinking window. Persistent and complex. Drink now and over the next 20 years.

A massive, powerful Angelus, this wine exhibits a saturated black/ruby/purple color as well as an impressively-endowed nose of dried herbs, roasted meats, new saddle leather, plum liqueur, and cassis. In the mouth, olive notes make an impression. This sweet, full-bodied, exceptionally concentrated wine is atypically backward and ferociously tannic. It was revealing more sweetness and forwardness immediately prior to bottling, but I would now recommend 7-8 years of cellaring. Anticipated Maturity: 2007-2025.
