Community Tasting Note

• I'd Rather Be Drinking Wine Likes this wine: 95 points

  August 31, 2022 - Angelus Tasting (Anhelo (Phoenix)): My favorite of the tasting, and if I was younger, I would buy this wine! It will certainly be a stunning wine when it matures. The fruit is decadent, the tannins smooth, but present, and acidity seems good....everything you want for a great wine!
  
  Nose is typical Angelus (dark fruit and perfumed), and the palate showed dark fruit compote with some earth, graphite and sweet oak....it will certainly be a stunner, and IMO, the best of the three tonight.slightly better than 2010, and much better than 2015. 95+ tonight and may gain a point or 2 with time!

  9/3/22, 8:39 PM - I bought some Angelus at the tasting....16 was as young as I would go...even that I fear is way too young, but hoping at 15 years old, with a long decant, it will drink well!

  I have had as old as '98 a couple years ago and '03/'05s lately. Just beautiful. These younger ones could probably be enjoyed earlier with the right air.

  9/3/22, 9:50 PM - I bought a couple bottles of 05, 09, 10, and 16.....yeah, I have no self control! Ironically, when I was buying futures, I went with Pavie instead of Angelus.....time will tell if I made the right move!
