  August 4, 2023 - Simple and rustic! As a 14%, I can't detect any heat, however, I can feel a bit of extraction, rich, woody fruits on the palate, drinking rather nicely at this point of its life.

  June 17, 2023 - What's better than one Angelus? Two!! BNO dinner. The 02 was less Bordeaux-y than the 96, so it was my favorite. The 96 was really rocking and although I didn't ask, this one probably either was decanted before the event or was just more in the wheelhouse. The 02 definitely was showing more blackberry and less truffle, smoke and leather. Both of these wines are medium++ bodied wines, finishing with a moderate black pepper note on the 02 and a tamer, calmer smoked cedar and alder wood, ashy finish with a milder black pepper note. Really good wines with the porcini pork!!

  January 2, 2023 - Extracted and new worldish, I guessed it was from Napa. Not the best vintage for this producer.

  January 2, 2023 - Beat the '89 Angelus: Had strong notes of hawthorn and tea leaves very similar to '98 Groffier Amoureuses a couple of months ago. Not sure what caused two completely different wines to show so similarly but in both instances this note was quite distracting. In any case this felt over-extracted and the structure of the wine was lacking to support the fruit.
