  July 29, 2023 - Brought as a blind bottle for a friends birthday.
  Scratched my head seeing the negative vibes on this vintage.
  
  But damn, this surprised me so much ... to me, firing in all cylinders.
  Not a frequent Angelus drinker, so no much to compare against.
  
  But I really loved the nose and taste, even though the finish was a bit short.
  
  This is à point for me ! Solid 94 as well.

  March 15, 2021 - Very charming Angelus, though clearly not on par with what the Chateau usually produces. Medium bodied, quite pale color, the wine is elegant but lacks a bit of depth. It somehow reminded me of a pinot noir character: focused, elegant, smooth with a level of acidity bringing freshness (probaly a tad bit prominent). Not very long, but very decent. Hard to be impressed, but it is fair to say they did pretty well in the most challenging vintage Bordeaux have had for the past 25 years.

  Decanted for 30mins; to enjoy with Wagyu beef MB4. Expressions of youth, very good structure to the wine, can savour the silkiness and smoothness on the palette...still young but has the makings of a truly enjoyable wonderful wine upon maturity.

  January 30, 2018 - IMW Bordeaux Tasting - 2013 Vintage (Hyatt, San Francisco): Brooding mushrooms. Black plum with Brett. Vanilla-cinnamon oak. Aromatic but shows it's oak a bit clumsily. Some development and integration. An austere palate.

  January 30, 2018 - Might very well be the best of show for the 2013 Masters of Wine annual SF Bordeaux Grand Cru tasting.
  Out of the 56 bottles offered this was a star showing a more approachable, less imposed and manipulated juice: Fruit and acid in balance with softer than the rest astringency.
  I would recommend to avoid the right bank's '13's as none tasted cellar worthy and very much chemically manipulated.
