Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 2003

Still a dark garnet/purple color that shows some lightening at the edge, this wine appears to be approaching a post-adolescent stage. A nose of earth, licorice, underbrush, and black fruits is followed by a medium-bodied wine with a lot of structure, muscle, tannin, and depth. Tannin is still present, but the wine is showing very complex aromatics and good sweetness on the attack. Very drinkable, yet capable of holding for at least another decade. Anticipated maturity: Now -2012. Last tasted, 4/02.

About Winery

A scant kilometre from the famous bell-tower at Saint Emilion, on its renowned south facing "pied de cote" (foot of the hill) site, Chateau Angelus is the story of a passionate involvement of the last four generations of the Benard de Laforest family.

The estate's name derives from a particularly ancient plot of vineyard, from which the men tending the vines were able to hear the angelus ringing out from all three of the village churches, chapelle de Mazerat the church of Saint Martin de Mazerat and the church of Saint Emilion.
