Château Angélus 2015

Incredible depth of fruit to this Angelus, which is dense yet also agile and energetic. There's just so much dynamic fruit and tannin structure. Makes you want to taste and taste. What a young wine! We will see if 2016 is better than 2015. Both are great.

Couleur intense et belle. Nez très aromatique aussi, fruité, pur, mûr et complexe. Entrée en bouche nuancée, le vin avance en fondant avec du goût. À partir du milieu, il continue de fondre et devient plus puissant tout en restant gracieux. Longue finale complexe et savoureuse au grain fin. Superbe !

A wonderful Angelus, rich in the character of this vintage. Stunning length on the silky tannins. This extends outwards, and the architecture is very much more linear than circular (as it is in some vintages), with a lovely freshness and power. I just love how effortless this feels, with deeply intense black fruits and a dried herb edge. The flesh isn't overt but absolutely present. Likely to take on some more weight over time and it will certainly take its time to reach its perfect drinking window. Wonderful sense of energy, power and intensity, yet it's so drinkable now. The 100% new oak is very well-integrated, a brilliant success.
