"... ganz tolle, reife frische, schöne, blumige Frucht, ganz fein, Cab Franc ist Angelus Signatur (40%), super Balance und Struktur, ganz fein, wiederhole ich mich?, kann man nicht oft genug betonen, blaubeerig am Gaumen, große Finesse, feine Tabak-Noten, sowas von fein und lang, großartiges Finale mit perfekten Tanninen."

"Tiefdunkel, rauchig, kühler Kamin, dunkle Kirschen, Kräuter; am Gaumen sehr kompakt, Massen an feinen Tanninen umgarnen die Frucht, lebhafte Säure, ein Wein mit Kraft, Rasse und viel Finesse; endet auf Blutorangen, Sauerkirschen und schwarze Schokolade. Ein erfreulich frischer, saftiger Angelus, der für eine kleine Ewigkeit gebaut ist." (10/2025)

"A vintage of precision and aromatic purity, this is one of the finest Angélus wines ever made. A blend of 60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc, the nose is heady and complex, filled with dark chocolate, cherries, blackcurrants, violets, and rose. On the palate, it’s silky, scintillating, and fresh, with a crystalline clarity and balance that feels almost effortless. Chalky yet creamy tannins add depth, while flashes of heat and liquorice spice on the finish bring structure and length. Juicy, deep, and incredibly moreish, this dances across the palate with finesse and vibrancy. A wine of energy, persistence, and sheer sophistication. 100% new oak (50% Cab Franc in foudre). 3.7 pH. 75 IPT. Organic." - Georgie Hindle (12/2024)

"The added density of the vintage is clear, and this is extremely impressive, great lift through the palate, switchback of opulent texture, rich damson, cocoa bean, black tea, sandalwood and incense, flavourful and delivered with grip and tension. Super impressive, 100% new oak for the barrels, with 20% of the production (Cabernet Franc only) aged in large oak casks. September 8 to 29 for the harvest. First year out of the St Emilion ranking, still delivering at the top of the appellation." (01/2025)
