| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.2 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 67 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by KarlO_CC on 4/9/2024 & rated 89 points: Nice and smooth. You feel the Cabernet S - integrated tannins. Ready to drink. (195 views) | | | Tasted by platpeeps on 10/21/2023 & rated 92 points: Classic savoury claret, with notes of graphite, minerals, leather and spice. There is a slight Bretty/gamey note but the chewy tannins simply melt away to reveal cocoa on a very long finish. Beautifully balanced with a fine structure. From previous bottles my expectations were low but this has really improved with age. Superb. CHP 92 pts (437 views) | | | Tasted by rupertg on 7/19/2023 & rated 90 points: Classic, mature claret. Drinking well, thinning on the finish but aged notes emerging. Brick red rim, starting to dry, but lovely lingering flavours. Keeping my last one for fans of older wines. (572 views) | | | Tasted by jamieanderson3956@gmail.com on 6/17/2022: Excellent For our 40 th anniversary (1349 views) | | | Tasted by kevin h on 5/27/2022 & rated 90 points: Drinking well. Classic Bordeaux, nice balance, good fruit, a little tannin on the finish. Nice wine. (1292 views) | | | Tasted by jamieanderson3956@gmail.com on 12/17/2021: For the Christmas party. Wine in good shape. Great party. Hoping not spoiled by omicron! (1615 views) | | | Tasted by KarlO_CC on 8/1/2021 & rated 90 points: On top now. Smooth , integrated tannins, blackcurrant on the nose + palate - medium long finish. Very nice and really good qpr. Good performance In a difficult and hot vintage. (1675 views) | | | Tasted by kevin h on 9/6/2020 & rated 90 points: 18 months since I last had this and it is holding well. Mellow claret, red fruits starting to show some secondary character but lots of time left. Holding well. (2303 views) | | | Tasted by Traxx on 11/12/2019: From mag- opened around 4 hours before the first glass was poured.
Drinking really well at the moment, some tannins but well balanced with the fruit. Will plan on drinking the rest over the coming couple years, as it's in a great place now. (2360 views) | | | Tasted by kevin h on 1/13/2019 & rated 90 points: First bottle from a case and I’m glad I didn’t believe many of the notes on this. Far from being near the end of its life this is just entering its plateau of maturity. Deep garnet colour, only a hint of fade at the rim. Nose has graphite, menthol, red fruits, and herbs, almost Italian in profile. To taste, classic juicy youthful claret. Soft and ripe and with some tannin on the back end, lacking a little grip, but nice, easy and approachable mid weight claret. This should improve for another 5 years and last ten before the fruit fades on this showing. Good drinking now. (2906 views) | | | Tasted by rupertg on 8/18/2018 & rated 89 points: Dark red centre, rim showing brick colour. Savoury, mouth filling, still tannic. Good with food. Finish is long and dry. Drink up. (3077 views) | | | Tasted by hargy on 5/20/2018: seen better days - not rated (2794 views) | | | Tasted by Uncle John on 5/1/2018 & rated 90 points: A mature Bordeaux with nice earth and mineral notes. (2444 views) | | | Tasted by gout on 5/29/2017 & rated 86 points: Still a little tight knit, will keep 2-3 yrs ? (3448 views) | | | Tasted by smithto on 1/31/2016 & rated 88 points: An OK effort, but nothing special for a reasonably good vintage. Somewhat muted fruit with an only reasonable finish. Good for everyday drinking, but not worth cellaring for much longer. (4690 views) | | | Tasted by NickBurwood on 11/4/2015 & rated 88 points: Chateau d'Angludet tasting and dinner with Charles Sichel at the Jugged Hare (City). Limited note taking.
The weakest of the d'Angludet flight. Lacked the intensity of the other wines and the cherry/red fruit was somewhat pastilly in nature. A touch of charred oak added to the flavour profile but the whole lacked true depth and grip.
For drinking up over the next year. (4443 views) | | | Tasted by rupertg on 9/11/2015 & rated 89 points: Dark red but translucent, rim showing brick red. Herbaceous nose but quite muted initially. Smooth and mouth filling, firms tannins but fruit dominates at all stages. Very enjoyable. (4464 views) | | | Tasted by rwpalmer on 6/27/2015 & rated 88 points: Moderate colour--no excessive browning. Round, ripe nose though lacking precision. Fullish-bodied with the, as to be expected, rather firm tannins. (from magnum) (4607 views) | | | Tasted by gout on 1/1/2015 & rated 89 points: Still quite tannic and unyielding - keep a further 3-4 years (4200 views) | | | Tasted by gout on 7/14/2014 & rated 89 points: Drinking well, now ready (3561 views) | | | Tasted by CRichards on 1/12/2014 & rated 86 points: Reliable but unexciting (4092 views) | | | Tasted by rwpalmer on 11/5/2013 & rated 89 points: From 2 magnums: once again proving that whereas its bigger brother Palmer faltered in this vintage, the Angludet produced one of the best showings with genuine elegance and typicity albeit in a slightly heavier frame. No rush to drink. (4046 views) | | | Tasted by Pichoo on 7/29/2013 & rated 91 points: Quel délice que ce 2003 dégusté avec une fondue bourguignonne. Il suivait un Epsilon 2007 et lui a fait las barbe! (4731 views) | | | Tasted by rupertg on 6/24/2013 & rated 90 points: Still black with a ruby rim. Toasted vanilla nose, mouth full of smooth fruit, tannin shows on the teeth. Finish is quite mineral. Overall, showing very well. Steel in a velvet glove. (4192 views) | | | Tasted by Blauweiss on 3/22/2013 & rated 87 points: Good Bordeaux-nose. Taste is dry, medium body. Fruit is ok but with a burnt feeling, a bit weak in the middle and with tough tannins that feel out of balance.

Their second label is Moulin d'AngludetRed Bordeaux BlendRed Bordeaux is generally made from a blend of grapes. Permitted grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and rarely Carménère.Today Carménère is rarely used, with Château Clerc Milon, a fifth growth Bordeaux, being one of the few to still retain Carménère vines. As of July 2019, Bordeaux wineries authorized the use of four new red grapes to combat temperature increases in Bordeaux. These newly approved grapes are Marselan, Touriga Nacional, Castets, and Arinarnoa.
Wineries all over the world aspire to making wines in a Bordeaux style. In 1988, a group of American vintners formed The Meritage Association to identify wines made in this way. Although most Meritage wines come from California, there are members of the Meritage Association in 18 states and five other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Israel, and Mexico.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

History of Bordeaux
History of 1855 Bordeaux Classification
"2009 is all about ripeness, with wines impressively packed with ripe fruit and high alcohol levels. They are showy, in-your-face, and full of pleasure. The 2010s have the fruit and alcohol levels of the 2009s, but with a compelling freshness on the finish that balances the fruit and provides a perfect sense of structure." - Ben Nelson
"2016 is a landmark vintage in certain spots of Bordeaux and it should be remembered as one of the most inspired campaigns of the last 40-50+ years." -Jon Rimmerman
"The quality of red Bordeaux in 2016 was universally lauded – although the response to the en primeur campaign was muted. Quantity was high too, with the equivalent of 770 million bottles of wine produced. An exceptionally dry summer with cool nights eventually, thanks to mid September rain, resulted in small, thick-skinned, ripe grapes, and the wines are marked by high tannin and acidity, with superb aromatic fragrance." - Jancis Robinson
"2017 was complicated, but there are some excellent wines. Expect plenty of freshness and drinkability from wines that will offer excellent value, and others that will rival 2016 in terms of ripeness and ageability. But they are likely to be the exception not the rule, making careful selection key." - Jane Anson
"In the past, a vintage such as 2022 may have been overripe, raisined and low in acidity but 2022 had a sneaky little reservoir in its back pocket - a near perfect marriage of cool/cold/rain the previous winter and the previous vintage that literally soaked the soils (a key to why 2022 is not 2003...or 1893)." - Jon RimmermanMédoc Vins du Médoc (Conseil des Vins du Médoc) - Read More about the Medoc

The eight precisely defined appellations of the whole of the Médoc (from Blanquefort Brook to the north of the Bordeaux built-up area, almost to the Pointe de Grave) may claim the Médoc appellation. But there is also a specific territory in the north of the peninsula which produces exclusively wines with this appellation. In the great majority, the Médocs come from the north of the peninsula. The great individuality of this region is that the number of vines has increased more recently here than elsewhere, apart from a few isolated spots where vines have grown for many years. Today, the size of the small estate has brought about the development of a powerful co-operative movement. Four co-operatives out of five belong to the group called Unimédoc which ensures aging, bottling and marketing a large proportion of their wines.Margaux Read more about Margaux and its wines As with a large part of the Bordeaux vineyards, vines first appeared in Margaux during the Gallo-Roman period.
In 1705 a text mentions Château Margaux . But we have to wait for the end of the eighteenth century and the coming of the earliest techniques in aging for the concept of wines of high quality to develop. The confirmation of this was the famous 1855 classification which recognized 21 Crus Classés in the Margaux appellation. One hundred years later, the Viticultural Federation and the Margaux appellation of controlled origin were born. The appellation, which stretches out over five communes, is actually unique in the Médoc in that it is the only one to contain all the range of wines, as rich as they are vast, from First Great Cru Classé to the Fifths, not forgetting its famous Crus Bourgeois and its Crus Artisans.
In Margaux there is a predominance of Garonne gravel on a central plateau of about 4 miles in length and one and a quarter wide. To the east-south-east, it overlooks the low lying land by the estuary. Its east side is marked by gentle, dry valleys and a succession of ridges.The layer of gravel in Margaux was spread out by a former Garonne in the early Quaternary. Rather large in size, it is mingled with shingle of average dimension and represents the finest ensemble of Günz gravel in the Haut-Médoc. It is on this ancient layer on a Tertiary terrace of limestone or clayey marl that the best Médoc crus lie. All the conditions for successful wine are present : a large amount of gravel and pebbles, poor soil which cannot retain water and deep rooted vines.
It is customary to say that Margaux wines are the "most feminine" in the Médoc, thus stressing their delicacy, suppleness and their fruity, elegant aromas. This does not affect their great propensity for aging; just the opposite, for the relatively thin terroir imparts tannins which give them long life. The other characteristic of these wines which combine an elegant vitality, subtlety and consistency, is their diversity and personality. Over and above the flavour which is their "common denominator", they present an exceptional palette of bouquets, fruity flavours which show up differently from one château to another.
Production conditions (Decree dated August 10 1954)
In order to have the right to the Margaux appellation of controlled origin, red wines must:
- come from the commune of Margaux, Cantenac, Soussans, Arsac and Labarde, "excluding the land which by the nature of its soil or because of its situation, is unfit to produce wine of this appellation".
- satisfy precise production conditions: grape-varieties (Cabernet-Sauvignon, Cabernet-Franc, Carmenère, Merlot Noir, Petit Verdot, Cot or Malbec), minimum of sugar (178 grammes - 6.27 oz. - per litre of must) degree (an acquired 10°5) base yield (45 hectolitres per hectare).
