Chateau Angelus, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2019 Astrolabe Cabernet and Merlot from mostRedcurrants, sweet tobacco and flowers with some sandalwood. Very perfumed and floral. So pure. Full bodied, yet so refined and layered, with a soft, compact palate and a crushed velvet mouth feel. Poised fruit at the end, together with fresh, rare wood and a light chocolate undertone to the aftertaste. This is open, yet theres so much in reserve. 60% merlot and 40% cabernet franc. Leave it in the cellar for at least eight years. 98 Pts James Suckling
