Château Angélus 2005

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

Good level, label very slightly worn, US back label

62% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Franc. In 2015, a truly "classic" nose of frank fruit, many-layered and with multi-dimensional scent. Violets and raspberries. A terrific mouthful of red fruit - reaches all the corners. This is harmony in action, with that perfect balance of fruit, acidity and tannin. Volume and length. Suave and sweet. This truly represents the vintage in all its glory. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

WA 100

1 d.mag - 3 litres (owc)

Full cases of mouth-watering Bordeaux, with many Super Seconds, plus Yquem, topped off with an unusual array of American Cabernet Sauvignon. This collection is in excellent condition and was brought over to London from the US, where much of it was purchased at Sotheby's.
