Château Angélus 2014

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Medium to deep garnet in color, the 2014 Angélus needs a fair bit of coaxing to begin to reveal very pretty aromas of lilacs, kirsch, redcurrant jelly and Black Forest cake plus nuances of graphite and menthol. The palate is delicately intense with soft spoken floral and earth notes complimenting the black fruits, supported by ripe, rounded tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long with compelling restraint. Sporting a good amount of tertiary nuances, it can be enjoyed right now, but make sure to decant it a good 1.5 to two hours prior to drinking.

James Suckling

Ripe damson-plum, candied-orange and spice aromas pour from the glass of this ripe and generous St.-Emilion. Impressive tannin structure behind all the richness, the bitter-chocolate and expresso notes at the warm and long finish underlining the ripe fruit very neatly. Still so much life and so many years ahead of it. Drink or hold. Château Quintus vertical tasting.

VertdeVin

(60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc) The nose is fresh, elegant and velvety. It reveals notes of red fruit and blackberry combined with notes of violet, blueberry and a touch of spices as well as a touch of anise / licorice. The palate is fruity, fleshy, elegant, complex and very fresh. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of red fruits, boysenberry, licorice and spices associated with slight notes of blueberry, toasted oaky notes and a discreet / fine note of caramel. Tannins are fine, elegant and relatively tight. Good length.
