  At close to 70 years of age, this wine is mind-blowing! There is so much going on here, it is insane. The dried flowers, plums, and truffle with their cigar-influenced nose is compelling. But the silky, vibrant, crushed rock and earthy, crisp cherry-filled palate is even better! No decanting here. Just, pop, pour and smile for the rest of the night. Drink from 2022-2028.

  On the nose, exotic spices, truffles and earth led the way. The palate enjoyed a steady stream of rich, syrupy, opulently textured red fruits. 55 Angelus was a special wine that did not lose fruit in the glass. Hubert says, unlike the 60's, 70's & early 80's, Angelus produced very fine wines in the 50's. In wine is truth, and this bottle showed how great Angelus can age.
