Medium red, brownish hue; fresh rich fruity nose, dark notes; nice smooth relatively sweet attack, lots of vibrancy and life (it’s 20+ years old!), nice long dense rich aftertaste, some mocca, light tannins at the end; a real pleasure

9th of 12, opened 2 hours, perfect level, cork half worked, back on form after less impressive bottle in July 21, fine generosity particularly for Angerville, lovely sweetish mid palate with attractive VA lift to flavours, layering developing and tannins now better integrated, some upside 10+ years. F+ (18).....and perhaps better on pleasure.

8th of 12, pnp, near perfect cork and level, less focussed flavours than previous bottles and beginning to show baked element to fruit, gravelly tannins, hopefully a one-off, downgraded but no rush. Just F (17.5).

7th of 12, opened an hour, perfect cork and level, substantially as July bottle, hint of dry, dustiness in tannins though not obtrusive given weight and quality of fruit.. F+ (18).

6th of 12, opened an hour, perfect cork and level, similar to Jan 19 bottle, the weight of lightly spiced, quite mineral, rich but not hot fruit, hides the considerable fine tannic structure on which it is built, bags of life . F+ (18).
