The 2018 Angélus is a Bordeaux blend from the renowned Saint Émilion region in Bordeaux, France, crafted predominantly from 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc. This vintage has garnered exceptional reviews, praised for its complexity and potential for long-term aging.

Jeb Dunnuck awarded this wine a perfect score of 100, describing it as "pure perfection" with a "vibrant bouquet of blackberries, crème de cassis, crushed violets, spring flowers, and cedar pencil." He highlights the wine's remarkable balance and concentration, noting that it improves over several days without oxidizing, suggesting it will benefit from several years of bottle aging and could be enjoyed for decades.

James Suckling also rates the 2018 Angélus highly, giving it a score of 98. He describes it as having "sweet tobacco and black olives with some basil and terra cotta," with a "full and very tight" structure that carries "beautiful depth." He recommends enjoying this wine after 2025, though it is "seductive now."

Wine Enthusiast echoes these sentiments, also scoring it 98, and emphasizes the wine's "dense, smoky" profile with "ripe tannins and a line of fresh acidity." This balance is further admired by Wine Spectator, who acknowledges its "muscular finish" and "ample acidity."

According to Lisa Perrotti-Brown of Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, the wine boasts "stylish scents of black raspberries, boysenberries, and Black Forest cake," with a medium to full-bodied palate. She suggests a few years of cellaring will allow the flavors to harmonize, after which it can be enjoyed for over 20 years.

The 2018 Angélus is a wine of profound elegance and power, with reviewers noting its potential to evolve beautifully over time. It is a testament to the skill of the Angélus team, particularly as they transition to organic practices, making it a standout choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
