89: Für einen 83er St. Emilion extrem tiefe Farbe. St. Julien-Nase mit viel Zedernholzaroma und Würze. Im Gaumen Pfeffer und Säure, extremer Zungenbeschlag, gute Zukunft. 17/20 vorbei
83 Robert Parker
This wine has matured all too quickly. Of course, it was made during a period when the raw materials were excellent, but the proprietor was excessively fining and filtering the wine. (Both procedures were eliminated in the late eighties.) The 1983 is medium ruby with some amber at the edge, a weedy, cassis, oaky nose, and soft, loosely knit, nearly flabby flavors. The tannins have melted away, and this wine requires immediate consumption. Anticipated maturity: Now-may be in decline. Last tasted, 1/89.
Producer
Château Angélus
Less than a kilometer from the memorable Saint-Émilion bell tower, Château Angélus sits on the south-facing hillside of the 26-hectare vineyard. The estate stands as a representation and continuation of eight generations of the Boüard de Laforest family. This has consistently been one of the most esteemed Saint-Émilion estates in the past 10 to 15 years, however, in the 1954 Classification while they were already awarded as a Grand Cru Classé, the property was upgraded to Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1996. Their wines have been pioneered to be richer and more concentrated, with accents of black currant and plum fruit. They are nonetheless, well-balanced, oaked wines to enjoy every day.
