The 1995 Angelus is a Bordeaux Blend from the esteemed Saint Emilion region of Bordeaux, France. With its deep red color and rich flavors, this wine is a true representation of the elegance and complexity that Bordeaux wines are known for.

On the nose, the 1995 Angelus offers sweet and superripe aromas of raspberry, plum, black cherry, tobacco, toffee, and game. These enticing scents immediately captivate the senses and invite you to take a sip.

Once on the palate, this wine truly shines. It is like liquid velvet, with a sweet, voluptuous, and seamless texture. The flavors of black cherry, chocolate, and smoky oak are palate-staining, leaving a lasting impression. The wine finishes with chewy and toothfurring tannins, adding depth and structure to the overall experience.

Renowned wine critics have praised the 1995 Angelus for its exceptional qualities. Vinous awarded it a score of 93, describing it as having great persistence and a palate-staining finish. Wine Spectator gave it an impressive score of 95, noting its layers of velvety tannins and long, caressing finish. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded it a score of 92+, acknowledging its concentration and complex aromatics.

While this wine can be enjoyed now, it still possesses a fair amount of tannin that will continue to soften and integrate over time. It is recommended to drink this wine between 2017 and 2030 to fully appreciate its evolving characteristics.

The 1995 Angelus is a structured, masculine, and tannic wine that appeals to lovers of old school, traditional Bordeaux. While it may not have the overtly sexy personality that some associate with Angelus, it is a wine of great longevity and potential.

Overall, the 1995 Angelus is a Bordeaux Blend that exemplifies the best of the Saint Emilion region. With its complexity, elegance, and age-worthiness, it is a wine that will continue to impress for years to come.
