1989 Chateau Angelus, Saint-Emilion, Magnum (1.5L)

AG 96 "The 1989 Ang?lus is a vintage that I have tasted multiple times from various formats. It remains one of my favorite of that era. Still quite deep in color, it has a glorious, almost hubristic bouquet of layers of lush black cherries, cedar, sage and meat juice aromas as it moves assuredly into its secondary phase. The palate has always been very harmonious and smooth, the tannins finer than preceding vintages. There is lovely grip here, and black truffle and smoky notes appear on the finish. A quite marvelous Ch?teau Ang?lus. Tasted at the chateau. (NM)" (September 2019)
