1990 Château Angélus
Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 5, 2015 - Simply spectacular. Pop and pour, and this was absolutely singing. Soaring nose of peat, earth, plum, black cherry, cinnamon, tobacco, and pencil. A nose that only time can produce. The complexity of the palate was mind blowing. Layer after layer of rich black fruit, tobacco, graphite, moist earth, leather, and a long pencil finish. The wine coats every crevice of your mouth, and this particular bottle had completely sorted tannins. A beautiful, clear crimson color, I stared at the glass for quite some time. This stunning 1990 Angelus has convinced me to stay away from my 2000 Angelus stash for at least 5 to 10 years. What a complete winner! Those of you with the 1990...open away, and I hope that your bottles show as well as this one did. 98+ Pts
