Red Bordeaux Blend

So I drank two bottles of bdx side by side this weekend. This, fourth (!) wine of '20 Angelus and Les Cruzelles '18 from the Durantou family. Both a Pomerol blend of merlot and cabernet franc. I liked this the most and I give this a 92 for sheer pleasure and unbeatable qpr. The cab franc gives this just the right amount of of medicinal herbs to keep things moving on the palate. A serious, balanced and complete big(ger) wine that is drinking well already at three years after bottling. Bought a sixpack at around 20€ a bottle. Will stack this if this comes along from a decent future vintage.

Alcohol rich? Elegant? Should be Cork Taint. It was almost removed by wrap absorption. Then, feel Oak. Black currant.

We liked this a lot considering the price. Already drinking very well. The bottle was gone in no time.

Tasty and easy to drink but not much going on I think.

Awkward and thin for the first 30 minutes. Some air helped it open up. For the price, I like it.

Super smooth. Great drinking Bordeaux.
