Product Description
JA100 "Luscious, but with grandeur and lift, this is a benchmark wine that is totally delivering, offering waves of crushed roses, mocha, coffee bean, griilled sandalwood, incense, cigar box, iris and grilled rosemary. Exceptional, fully in its drinking window but those tannins are still fully in play." JA for IB Mar 2025
RP98 "The 1998 Angélus, a blend of 40% Cabernet Franc and 60% Merlot, is deep garnet colored with a touch of brick. The nose is completely...WOW! It has an incredible array of smoked meats, incense, cigar box and dusty earth notions over a core of baked cherries, dried mulberries, preserved plums and dried roses with wafts of lavender, menthol and new leather. The palate is medium to full-bodied, rich, intense and packed with black fruit preserves accented by complex savory and earth-inspired flavors, supported by wonderful freshness, textured by plush tannins and finishing with fantastic tension. This still has loads of life—25+ more years!" LPB for TWA May 2018
