1hr+ decant but probably not needed. Tea, eucalyptus, and musty cherries on the nose. Same on the palate with some green elements. Medium minus depth. Medium plus finish. Maybe an off bottle as it doesn’t taste like past vintages or maybe I should have PnP’d. — 18 days ago

Always a favorite!

1hr+ decant. Definitely needs a decant! Dark red color with purple rims. Wine is dominated by vanilla, watermelon, and candied fruit. Medium depth. I actually thought it had some Pinot elements. Reminded me of the Chateau Philippe Le Hardi Montee Rouge which I love. This definitely was like candy and my first review of this wine. Last bottle of this vintage :( — 3 years ago

Probably the best Pinot Gris I’ve had in many years; in a perfect alsacian style. — 4 years ago

375ml. One of my favs! Such great value. More umph, character, and complexity than the Langoa Barton. Rich fruit balanced with terroir elements. Loved it! — 4 months ago

The 2018 Angélus is striking. Cabernet Franc aromatics make a strong first impression. Vibrant and delineated, the 2018 is incredibly refined in every way. The move towards a bit less extraction really seems to let the purity of the fruit come through. The same is true of a reduction of oak. All the elements come together so effortlessly. The 2018 has all the richness readers expect of Angélus, with much more finesse and more overall vibrancy, a combination that works so well. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2021)

Big wine. Dark purple color. Blackberry dominates the nose with some floral elements. I’d say it’s 75% Napa Cab and 25% Brunello. Big tannins. Give some air. Not my style, but enjoyed its uniqueness. Drank a bit young. — 4 years ago

1hr+ decant. Maroon color on the pour but darkish red in the glass. Aged Bordeaux on the nose with cedar and floral elements. Palate reflects the same with dark cherries, tobacco, and anise. Medium plus depth and medium finish. Right in my wheelhouse! — 4 months ago

2015 is reporting for duty. Balanced with brighter fruit and acid with cassis, plums and pencil elements. One could drink this with a variety of meats, fowl and fish. This wine is locked and loaded and ready to fire. — 2 years ago

Our last bottle in London before we move back! Thank you to my team for the awesome gift!

1hr+ decant. Red color with brownish orange edges. Nose contains cedar, graphite, and green elements. Complex wine that has a nice balance of tannins and depth. Very lively and probably at the perfect drinking age. Long finish. Definitely a top echelon wine! — 4 years ago
