Chat Angelus 1cca St Emilion Bordeaux 2015

A beautiful Angélus, its clear balance on display in the contrast between rich impact and palate-climbing layers of freshness. This is extremely accomplished, taking its time to show its power and density, leisurely playing with dark spice, liquorice and chocolate notes against the grip of juicy acidity and feather-soft tannins. It’s really rather gorgeous, and is going to settle in for a long life. 100% new oak. Drinking window: 2023-2040. (Jane Anson,decanter.com,Nov. 12, 2020)
