The 2023 Angelus, a distinguished Bordeaux Blend from the acclaimed region of Saint Emilion in France, is a sophisticated and complex wine that has been highly praised by esteemed critics.

An elegant blend of 60% merlot and 40% cabernet franc, this wine is a testament to Angelus's mastery in winemaking. It has captivated the senses with its rich transparency of fruit and nuanced finesse. The wine displays a muscular, full-bodied structure, beautifully balanced by tannins that provide a remarkable tension and form. Its subtle weightlessness makes it a truly thought-provoking wine.

The wine reveals an expressive bouquet of dark berries and plums, delicately entwined with hints of mint, potpourri, rose petals, vine smoke, and a whisper of orange zest. It is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and supple, with a velvety attack that transitions into a core of pure, pillowy fruit framed by supple, powdery tannins. The finish is cool, harmonious, and long, leaving a perfumed aftertaste that lingers.

The palate is further enriched by a pleasant saline edge, accented with touches of white pepper towards the finish. It is slightly more compact on the mid-palate than usual, requiring a little more persistency on the aftertaste. This wine is recommended to be aged for five to six years in the bottle to reach its full potential.

The 2023 Angelus is a wine of great depth and beauty. Its intricate blend of flavors, from cocoa bean, liquorice, pomegranate, smoked earth, sage, anis, to fennel and slate tannins, creates a beautifully fragrant, measured and skillful wine experience. With a solid backbone of freshness and plush fruit, it showcases a subtle opulence layered with complexity, making it a truly unforgettable wine.
