    November 16, 2023 - Opened at Octavium in HK. Slow-oxed for several hours before being served as the fifth in a flight.

    This surprised me - beautiful sweet red fruit coming through, even though the black fruits were lurking behind. Some hints of herbaceousness and even peanut butter. Good intensity and balance in the palate, not too tannic, even though this is clearly a young(ish) Bordeaux and very much in its primary phase.

    Clear upside and excited to see where this goes. Was hovering between a 93/94 but decided to be generous this time. Will check-in again in 3+ years to see if it's loosened up a little more and become even more expressive, but even at this current state it's not brooding or grumpy, and very enjoyable.

    September 23, 2023 - From a 375 mL bottle. Perfect fill. Tight, unsaturated cork. Not a hint of brick in the color. Restrained dark fruit nose with cinnamon. Tannins are mostly resolved and the mouthfeel is quite silky. Palate follows the nose. This will certainly hold and likely evolve nicely with time but for me it's great right now. I like the fruit and overall balance. I'm sure 750 mL bottles will behave differently. A beautiful '09 Right Bank wine.

    May 1, 2023 - Tasted with mr_mando: strong nose with black currents, blueberries. On palate back currents continue, pears, camphor, tannins well integrated, very dense, silky. Already very drinkable, but still young and many years to go.

    April 22, 2023 - My first ever Angelus, and an experience worth waiting over 2 years for. Wonderful!

    60% Merlot and 40% Cab Franc, deep garnet colored, contrast of density and a silky mouthfeel. So very complex, hints of savoury too.

    Thank you brother RL for the unplanned thrill we had of this (and the epic Palmer 96) beauty in Casa Rosa one Raya evening this weekend.

    In terms of my Vivino scoring; 4.3 🌟 today, and will quite easily surpass 4.5 🌟 over the rest of this decade. For CellarTracker, I would reckon this is going to be a 95 pointer or more wine!

    This is a wonderful introduction to a glimpse into the world of Angelus for us, so grateful to have the chance to enjoy this.. on the same week we had a Palmer 96, Le Machiolle Paleo 10, and a Dominus Napa 11 too! Selamat Hari Raya from Malaysia...
