| Tasting note |
Another fine effort from this consistently excellent producer, the 2007 d-Aiguilhe is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. A dark ruby/purple color is followed by sweet black currant, charcoal, roasted herb, and spice box aromas presented in a weighty, medium to full-bodied, surprisingly rich, lush style. It should drink well for 5-6 years or longer. Drink 2010-2025. By Robert Parker, Apr 2010.
The 2007 Angelus has a really quite wonderful bouquet with dark cherries, crushed strawberry, hints of orange blossom and cedar that contain much more energy than many of its peers. The palate is very crisp and nicely structured on the entry. The acidity is very well judged, and there is a sense of effortless charm in the silky smooth, lightly spiced finish. Everything here is just ticking along nicely. Excellent. Tasted February 2017. Drink Date 2017 - 2030. By Neal Martin @ Wine Advocate, Jun 2017. |
