Château d’Angludet 2025

Quite striking aromatics with dark fragrance and herbal aspects plus blackcurrant and dried herbs. Supple and juicy, subtle with a lovely softness here – almost creamy strawberry with a perfumed fragrance lingering on the palate before turning more grippy and saline towards the finish with liquorice, flint and wet stone. It’s a fine Angludet with power and structure but there’s purity and focus and such a clean finish. 3.78pH. A yield of 23hl/ha. No deleafing. Ageing 35% amphoras, 65% barrels (30% new oak). Drinking window: 2032-2045. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
