The 2022 Angelus Bordeaux Blend is a standout red wine from the renowned Saint Emilion sub-region of Bordeaux, France. This vintage, produced by Angelus, is characterized by its remarkable depth and complexity, showcasing a blend of 53% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot.

Reviewers have praised the 2022 Angelus for its exceptional quality. James Suckling awarded it an impressive 99 points, noting the wine's "beautiful primary fruit aromas" and "extremely fine tannins with length and beauty." He highlighted the wine's superb brightness and the dynamics brought by the Cabernet Franc.

Jeff Leve also gave this vintage a perfect score of 100 points, describing it as deeply colored and elegant, with a level of purity and refinement not seen in older vintages. He emphasized its "sensuous, velvety, and silky" texture, balanced by vibrant fruit flavors that linger on the palate.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate echoed these sentiments, awarding the wine 98 points. The review highlighted the estate's shift towards gentler extraction and less overtly oaky élevage, resulting in a wine with deep aromas of dark berries and cherries, complemented by iris, licorice, and pencil lead notes. The wine's full-bodied nature and powdery tannins contribute to a long, saline finish.

Jeb Dunnuck, with a score of 99 points, described the wine as having extraordinary notes of cassis, blueberry liqueur, and acacia flowers. He remarked on its full-bodied richness and dense, concentrated mid-palate, paired with a vibrant freshness and purity.

This vintage has been crafted with meticulous attention to detail, including fermentation at cooler temperatures and aging in both foudres and new French oak barrels. Such dedication to winemaking excellence ensures that the 2022 Angelus will offer incredible pleasure both now and for the decades to come.
