Tannins are still tightly packed, concentrated liqourice, spiced cinnamon, black cherry, raspberries, olive tapendade and black chocolate, this remains broad-shouldered and confident at 12 years old, at the very beginning...

A blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc, the 2010 Angelus has a deep garnet color, with a touch of brick. It erupts from the glass with notes of black cherry preserves, molten chocolate, licorice, and plum pudding...

Wine Spectator, March 2013

Got patience? You'll need it to wait this brute out fully. A chunk of tar sits between you and the core of black currant, hoisin sauce and roasted Black Mission fig fruit flavors, while the back end is a road-paving...

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, March 2014

Tasted blind at the Southwold Bordeaux 2010 tasting. The Angelus 2010 has a rounded, more feminine bouquet that its peers with vivacious red cherries and wild strawberry scents. There is well-integrated creamy oak all...

Introducing the 2010 Angelus, a Bordeaux Blend from the esteemed Saint Emilion region in Bordeaux, France. This red wine is a true gem, exuding elegance, power, and a depth that is truly captivating. With a rich and velvety texture, it is a wine that hits all the right pleasure buttons.

The 2010 Angelus boasts a deep garnet color that is inviting and alluring. On the nose, it reveals a symphony of aromas, including vibrant red cherries, wild strawberries, and a hint of creamy oak. The bouquet is rounded and feminine, displaying a remarkable seamlessness and focus.

On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied with fine acidity and slightly powdery tannins. It showcases excellent tension and structure, creating a well-focused and harmonious experience. The flavors build up gradually, revealing a complex array of dark fruits, sweet earth, and oak notes. There is a sense of restraint in the flavors, avoiding overripeness and maintaining a perfect balance.

The 2010 Angelus is a wine that demands patience. It is a brute that requires time to fully express its potential. The core of black currant, hoisin sauce, and roasted Black Mission fig flavors is accompanied by a chunk of tar, giving it a distinct intensity. As the wine unfolds, layers of tobacco, freshly ground coffee, and a touch of iron add to its complexity. It is undoubtedly one of the most backward wines of its vintage, promising a long aging potential. Best enjoyed from 2017 through 2040.
