Classy St Emilion showing nice balanced oak with plush fruit and a notable Cab Franc presence (tobacco, leather). Should age very nicely.

Beautifully plush, juicy, with ripe red fruits indicative of this Merlot-dominant blend, and that wonderful vegetal quality of well ripened and integrated Cabernet Franc. Aged only 15 months in one year old barrels previously used for first wine Angelus. Plums, cassis, tomato leaf, capsicum, white pepper, graphite. Fruit-driven, yet well structured. Delicious!

Part of an Angelus dinner. Lovely for a second wine. Definitely preferred over the 2014 Angelus.

Nice, well balanced, ripe red and mild black fruit. Adequate tannins. Would go well with a meal, less so drinking by itself. Would like to try other vintages.
