Carillon de l'Angélus 2015

Falstaff

VertdeVin

The nose is fine, fruity and elegant. It reveals notes of blackberry, strawberry and slight notes of blueberry associated with fine touches of licorice, tobacco and a fine hint of violet. The palate is fruity, gourmand, well-balanced, relatively fat and offers suavity, a small tension, freshness as well as a nice unctuous matter. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry, cassis jam, crushed strawberry and fine notes of licorice associated with touches of toasted oak as well as discreet notes of almond. Tannins are fine and well built. Good length.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Composed of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2015 Le Carillon d'Angelus sports a medium to deep garnet-purple color and a very spicy nose of cloves, cinnamon and fenugreek over core of warm red fruits and freshly crushed blackberries plus wafts of rose hips and fragrant earth. Medium to full-bodied, very fresh and delicate in the mouth, it offers soft tannins with a savory, slightly chewy finish.

James Suckling

Brambly and spicy mixed berry fruits as well as vanillin and lighter chocolate aromas lead into a palate with soft, supple fleshy appeal and an impressively fresh finish.
