Château Angélus 2003 (12 BT)

Château Angélus 2003 

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

Excellent levels and appearance, tissue wrapped; Excellents niveaux et apparence

58% Cabernet Franc, 42% Merlot Only 25 hl/hectare made and the second highest proportion of Cabernet Franc they have ever put in the blend. Incredible exotic, even caramel nose, with a hint of figs. Glorious in the mouth. Very ripe grapes. Spices and orange zests. So "sweet" and inky. A complete one-off. So succulent. Another bottle had an immensely spicy nose and irony/fruity melting ripeness on the palate. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

A wonderful collection of Bordeaux from a pristine modern cellar, comprising all the leading names and the best vintages produced between 2000 and 2010. All the wines were purchased directly from one of the most reputable and established Bordeaux Négociants. This cellar has an incredible selection of bottles, magnums and double magnums from two of the most iconic vintages produced in the past 20 years with an impressive quantity of First Growths. Highlights includes the now legendary 2000 and 2005 vintages with all the First Growths in original wooden cases together with rarities such as Le Pin 2005 in magnum. This is evidently the cellar of a wine lover with true passion and extremely discerning tastes and is a collection that is sure to have global appeal.
