Commanderie de Bordeaux: Chateau Angelus with Victoire Touton (Maison Margaux, Mpls): Very dark red/purple color. Drank a glass over an hour plus. Gorgeous, elegant, highly perfumed and bursting with violets, purple fruits, lots of glycerin and caressing texture, dark cocoa beans, oh so nice and full of life. Intense yet capsulated and harmonious. Great future. 95(+)pts.

Opened young on purpose. Decanted and drunk over an hour. Beautiful nose of blackberries and cassis with hint of herbs. Palate with loads of fruit, tannin, some spice. Great structure for aging but remarkably delicious and approachable now. Loved it and age will only make it better.

Tasting at Chai Carillon in Castillon. Deep dark red. Intense fruit bouquet. Dark red fruit, violets, mineral, eucalyptus on finish. Tight tannins. This is big wine that needs time and space. 60% Merlot, 40% Cab Franc.

Loads of fruit and spices. It's broad, mesmerizing nose, tanins are "enrobés" , very long finish. Too young but you can tell this will be crazy good in time.

Big dark and very delicious - and surprisingly approachable
Challenges our leaning toward giving great Bordeaux 20+ years of aging
