Silky bruised fruit. Beautiful perfume. Herbal notes are pretty prominent on the nose but are certainly not off-putting.

Showing older than it is, but the elevation in status is justified.

A very underrated vintage for Angelus that is still youthful & drinking well at 25 yrs with notes of red berry, plum fruits, dried herbs, floral spices, leather & tobacco leaf.

Still youthful with beautiful aromatics showing a nose of red berry, cassis, earth, barnyard, leather, lead pencil, leather & tobacco. One of the better 94’s

Wonderfully fresh, compared to the '90 much more vividly but when tasted side by side the vintage clearly made the difference. The '90 was much more complete and balanced

Nice drinking vintage for Angelus. Silky and elegant with a velvety texture showing plum fruits, cassis, cedar, cigar box, vanilla spice and violets.
