Everything is coming up roses here, in the nose. That is before finding all the truffle, espresso, dark chocolate, black cherry, smoke, spice and plums on the nose. Rich, dense and concentrated, the wine is voluptuous...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, October 2020

Wine Enthusiast, April 2018

This wine is structured, powerful and ripe but also elegant and stylish. Juicy black fruits combine with a dry, structured core to give the wine both its richness and its future. Powered by its fruit and tannins, it has...

Wine Spectator, March 2018

Dense, dark and muscular, featuring waves of warmed fig, plum and black currant paste that roll in with warm ganache, baker's chocolate and espresso accents. A huge swath of smoldering tobacco is brewing on the finish...

The Wine Independent, August 2025

(95+ points) 2015 Angelus is a typical exponent of the vintage’s character. Deep and dark with intense notes of rubber, tar and smoke followed by a stone-like dryness and lots of strong tannins. This wine is nowhere near...

Vinous, June 2025

The 2015 Angélus has a ripe and generous bouquet with black cherry, espresso, dark chocolate and peppermint aromas, but it doesn't have the precision of the best Right Bank wines. The palate is very plush and forward...
