Le Carillon d'Angelus 2014

The 2014 Le Carillon de l'Angelus -Chateau Angelus Second Wine- is 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. The nose reveals subtle toasted notes (which will fade when matured), well-blended with ripe fruits. Following a supple attack, the palate evolves into a smoother structure supported by tight tannins. This Saint-Emilion carries lovely length soaked in fresh fruits.

Le Carillon d'Angelus 2018

Wild-strawberry, blackberry and blueberry aromas with some spices and herbs. It’s full-bodied with a balance of firm yet elegant tannins. The savory mid-palate leads to a clean finale with serious length. Hard not to drink this now, but it needs four or five years to show its true excellence. Second wine of Angelus. Try after 2025.

Score: 95 - James Suckling
