89 Wine Spectator
Very concentrated, with plum and cassis character and a hint of nuts. It's full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and loads of coffee and fruit on the finish. Better after 1996.--The Bordeaux 50. ?JS
87 Robert Parker
The 1985 is a seductively smooth, supple, broadly flavored wine with aromas and flavors of berry fruit and herbs. Full-bodied, concentrated, and delicious, this luscious, fully mature wine will drink well for another 3-6 years. Like many 1985s, it has reached full maturity more quickly than expected. Last tasted, 6/93.
14 Rene Gabriel
Erstmals 1989 verkostet und mit 13/20 Punkten bewertet. Damals wurde er von anderen Degustatoren besser eingestuft. 1991 gab ich ihm 15/20 Punkte und fand ihn burgundisch. 93: Jetzt ist die sanfte Fettschicht bereits wieder verschwunden und die leicht metallische Prägung bekommt Oberhand. (14/20). 06: Reifes, aufhellendes Granat mit bräunlichem Schimmer. Offenes, erdig-süsses Bouquet, Champignon, getrocknete Tomaten, Wildleder. Im Gaumen saftig, Malznoten, ein Hauch Curry und Lorbeer, noch gut trinkbar aber leicht über dem Zenit. vorbei

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.
