Monday, November 22, 2021 - Angélus vertical (Fribourg): Angélus vertical of 20 vintages. Main observations were : 1/ Older vintages before the mid-2000s often suffered from drying tannin and showed a lot of extraction, 2/ Younger vintages quickly benefited from aeration hence decanting advised, 3/ the fruit profile became darker over time 4/ best vintage to drink today: 2004. All wines were directly poured with no prior decant and served in flights of 4.

Tasting note:
Quite ripe and extracted and on balance a rather dark fruit profile. Quite densely built, creamily textured palate. Intensity even if not overly complex. Revisiting showed more fruit and freshness.
