2019 Château d'Angludet

Ripe, fruity character here, with aromas of cassis, blackberries, licorice, dark chocolate and walnuts. Medium-bodied with a polished, creamy texture, firm tannins and a chocolatey mouth-feel. Deep core of fruit and a meaty structure. Succulent and refined. Try after 2024 and onwards. (02/2022)

Checking in as 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, and the balance Petit Verdot, the ruby-hued 2019 Château D'Angludet offers up a pretty nose of red and blue fruits, exotic flowers, orange zest, and flowers, and it has an incredibly exotic, floral, almost tropical vibe in its aromatics. Medium-bodied on the palate, with silky tannins and good overall balance, it's not a blockbuster but has considerable charm. I suspect it will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and impress over the following 10-15 years. (04/2022)

The 2019 Angludet has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. It is a little closed to begin, soon offering glimpses at baked plums and cassis scents, followed by hints of pencil shavings, baking spices, and lilacs. The mediuml-bodied palate coats the mouth with generous black and blue fruits, framed by plush tannins and seamless freshness, finishing spicy. (05/2023)
