Chateau Angelus 1er Grand Cru Classe A 2019

99–100

Blandingen i 2019: 60 procent Merlot og 40 procent Cabernet Franc. Alkoholindholdet er mellem 14 og 14,5 volumenprocent. Meget flot blød, elegant Merlot-næse. Masser af sorte kirsebær, mango på siden. Frisk og alligevel meget blød. Elegant tanninstruktur. Meget fin i næsen. Totalt polerede tanniner i munden også. Intet groft, intet grønt, alt er fint og elegant. En utrolig friskhed i virkelig høj modenhed. Vinen har en tilsvarende høj modenhed, som jeg havde før med L'Evangile. Så sorte kirsebær med fløjlsagtige, silkeagtige tanniner og en stor overdådighed. Og så kommer syren, og så kommer friskheden. Citrongræs med appelsinskal, masser af salt og mineralitet. En meget vellykket Angelus. Måske er det endda en rigtig god Angelus. Under alle omstændigheder er intensiteten imponerende, og det samme er modenheden og blødheden. Aldrig fed, snarere fin, endda poleret og meget lang. En elegant, sortfrugtet, slank Angelus, der bestemt er kødfuld og kraftfuld i midten. Mange taler om den bedste nogensinde. Jeg ved det ikke, jeg syntes også, at 2018 var fantastisk. Jeg synes, at 2019 er vidunderlig. Og den har det der ekstra spark af friskhed. Altid en stor vin! 99-100/100

Suckling om: Chateau Angelus 1er Grand Cru Classe A

Redcurrants, sweet tobacco and flowers with some sandalwood. Very perfumed and floral. So pure. Full-bodied, yet so refined and layered, with a soft, compact palate and a crushed-velvet mouth-feel. Poised fruit at the end, together with fresh, rare wood and a light chocolate undertone to the aftertaste. This is open, yet there’s so much in reserve. 60% merlot and 40% cabernet franc. Leave it in the cellar for at least eight years. Try after 2029. 98/100

Decanter om: Chateau Angelus 1er Grand Cru Classe A

Beautifully expressive nose, really so welcoming with hints of sweet red cherries, raspberries, milk chocolate and touches of perfume too - soft but really defined. On the palate there is such charming grip from the tannins and flavour that just takes hold straight away but not in an overly dominating way. It's smooth but precise, driven from start to finish. Softly chewy tannins coat the tongue with black fruit and some creaminess alongside excellent acidity that gives a mouthwateringly fresh and cooling aspect underneath the ripe red and black fruit flavours. This has real life and energy, bright with clear complexity and layers of fruit, oak and terroir that comes across as a spicy but also wet stone, mineral undertone. Seriously good. You almost want to drink this now and just capture all the elements going on but they'll continue to soften and integrate over time and also let the beautiful Cabernet Franc elements integrate and come more into play over time. A success in 2019. Drinking window: 2028-2050. 98/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Angelus 1er Grand Cru Classe A

Based on a final blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Château Angélus is knockout stuff, and while I'm not sure it matches the perfect 2018, it's not far off. Gorgeous notes of redcurrants, blueberries, sandalwood, dried flowers, vanilla, and forest floor are just some of its nuances, and it hits the palate with medium to full body, a perfectly balanced, seamless mouthfeel, beautifully ripe tannins, and a great, great finish. It doesn't have the sheer weight or richness of, say, the 1998, 2000, 2005, or even the 2009, but it doesn't lack for intensity or power, and it’s just a beautiful example of modern-day Saint-Emilion. It's already approachable (this was best on day two) yet will keep for another 30+ years. 98/100

Parker om: Chateau Angelus 1er Grand Cru Classe A

Composed of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Angélus was harvested from the 13th of September until the 4th of October. Deep garnet-purple colored, it sashays out of the glass with gregarious scents of Morello cherries, lilacs, chocolate box and potpourri with a core of Black Forest cake, blueberry crumble, fragrant soil and menthol. Medium to full-bodied, the intensity on the palate builds from delicate, beguiling nuances with ethereal weight to a full-on fireworks display of flavor sparks, framed by fantastic freshness and very finely pixilated tannins, finishing long, layered and invigorating. 97-99/100

Wine Cellar Insider om: Chateau Angelus 1er Grand Cru Classe A

Deep, almost opaque ruby in color, the wine loads you up with flowers, licorice, smoke, wet earth, spice, vanilla along with red with black fruits on the nose. Classically styled,( in a good way,) the wine is precise, focused, energetic and pure. Silk with structure are what you notice on the palate along with multiple layers of perfectly ripe, concentrated plums, cherries and blackberries that linger and expand. The wine was made from blending 60% Merlot with 40% Cabernet Franc reaching 14.5 Alcohol with a pH of 3.65. The wine is aging in 100% new, French oak, however, 40% of the Cabernet Franc is aged in foudres, allowing the oak to have almost finished integrating into the wine. The harvest took place September 21-October 9. 97-99/100
