Medium to deep garnet-brick in color, the 1990 Angélus comes barreling out of the glass with big, bold, beautiful aromas of rose oil, cloves, smoked meats and licorice over a core of baked black plums, crème de cassis and raspberry pie plus hints of new leather and tobacco leaf. The palate is a full-on rich, powerful, full-bodied blockbuster, featuring bags of pure red and black fruit preserves layers and an incredible floral undercurrent, supported by plush tannins and lively freshness, finishing with epic length and depth. It's extraordinary to experience right now and yet should easily cellar for another 20+ years.

Immer noch sehr dunkle Farbe, nur am Rand aufhellend. Die süssliche, Wärme ausstrahlende Nase beginnt mit Kaffee, Korinthen und letzten Spuren von eher dunklem Barriquetoasting, im Untergrund findet man viel Lakritze und Schwarzteenoten, es ist auch noch etwas Cassis da – nach immerhin 25 Jahren. Im Gaumen samtig, gut balanciert und wie aus einem Guss, im Extrakt merkt man noch gewisse Reserven. Insgesamt ist der Wein aber jetzt wunderbar gereift. Normalerweise bevorzuge ich den 1989er. Diesmal lag dieser 90er er aber auf genau gleicher Augenhöhe.

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.
