Tempo d'Angelus
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.

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