Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, March 20, 2024 - Chateau Angelus at Ivy (Ivy Bottle Shop, Sydney): Even with 2 hours in the decanted this is quite closed and, for the first time in this bracket, I can see some plain chocolate to accompany plummy fruit . Behind this a little red berry, sweet spice. Alcohol lends a little minty note. On the palate it's unsurprisingly concentrated and dense, plummy fruit still manages to retain some freshness beneath the plentiful oak and, again, the alcohol is present but well managed. Tannins are coarse silk textured and a little chewy, the oak flavours are more dominant on the finish; chocolate especially.
