Brought to an (blind) Angelus vertical opinions varied between Ausone 2003 or Cheval Blanc 1998. Explosive nose with roasted coffee beans, milky-way, Valrhone chocolate, cedar tones and more. Thick, powerful and unusual for a Pauillac on the palate. Needs more time to open up.
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru
One of my favorite Right Bank wines. Smooth and sultry on the nose with licorice, chocolate and dark red fruits. Powerful and warm on the palate with iron, dark red fruits as cherry and cassis. The iron and classic tones is what this wine differentiates from wines like the Monbousquet 1998.
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru
Classic Saint-Emilion, great wine. Colour browning on the rim. Earth, minerals, graphite, wagyu and other secundary tones as medicine box on the nose. Medium to full bodied, mature wine with vanilla, minerals and lots of character.
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru
Dark purple colour. Big powerful wine with underwood, cassis fruits and cream in a beautiful balance on the nose. Very COMPLEX and super Elegant on the palate. Still abundant tannins for a long life. Today the best Angelus between bottles of 2001, 2000, 1998 and 1993.
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru
Very elegant wine. Concentrated full colour. Nose has tones of thick cake, chocolate, over-ripe prunes and black fruits. Thick chewy dark fruits and long lingering after taste, well integrated tannins.
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru
Decadent and sexy wine, highly concentrated. Dark purple colour. Overwhelming fruit on the nose, prunes, cherries and vanilla. Heavy on Oak. Massive wine, sticks to your teeth.

Dense, complex wine but bitter in after taste. Minerals, vanilla, pencil, leather but drying. Drink now. Had better bottles before.
