2015 Ch Domaine de l'A - Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux
Stand back for this bold wine with ripe black fruits, lavender and chocolate on the nose and big yet somehow elegant tannin structure that makes the finish graceful and should carry it for many years ahead.
2022 Chateau Alter Ego Palmer - Margaux (750ml)
The 2022 Alter Ego is bright, punchy and focused. Floral notes meld into a core of red/purplish fruit, spice, mint and orange peel. Medium in body and gracious, with sublime balance, Alter Ego is superb. In fact, the 2022 is one of the most rened edit...
2023 Chateau Alter Ego Palmer - Margaux (Bordeaux Future ETA 2026)
The 2023 Alter Ego is plump, juicy and super-expressive. Soft, silky tannins enshroud a core of plum, red cherry, spice, menthol and mocha. All the elements are so nicely balanced. A burst of red-toned fruit and spice lingers on a finish lifted by bright ...
2019 Chateau Amiral Beychevelle - St. Julien
The second wine of this terrific estate located on the southern edge of Saint-Julien, the 2019 Amiral De Beychevelle sports a dense purple hue to go with ripe black (and some blue) fruits, notes of tobacco leaf, cedar, and damp earth, medium-bodied richne...
1990 Chateau Angelus St. Emilion
A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, this is clearly the greatest Angelus until the 2000, 2003 and then the perfect 2005. Beautiful, sweet plum, blackberry and blueberry fruit soar from the glass of this opaque, purple wine that still hasn't lost...
2016 Chateau Angelus - St. Emilion 750ml
The 2016 Angelus is a total stunner. Despite its late bottling in September 2018, the 2016 is simply magnificent. Soaring aromatics and layers of bright, vibrant fruit are two of the main signatures in the 2016. The tannins, so often hard in young Ang?lus...
2021 Chateau Angelus - St. Emilion
2021 Chateau Angelus - St. Emilion
2014 Chateau Angelus - St. Emilion Ex-Chateau release
The 2014 Angélus is now really beginning to blossom. It has an outstanding bouquet with plush but delineated black cherry and cassis fruit, crushed violet and just a hint of pencil lead. There is wonderful focus here. The palate is medium-bodied with t...
2023 Chateau Angelus - St. Emilion (Bordeaux Future ETA 2026)
Cocoa bean, liquorice, pomegranate, smoked earth, sage, anis, fennel, slate tannins, this combines nuanced and sinewy tannins with a generous supple expansion through the palate, building in power and impact. Beautifully fragrant, measured and skilful. 50...
2023 Chateau Angelus - St. Emilion MAGNUM (Bordeaux Future ETA 2026) (1.5L)
Cocoa bean, liquorice, pomegranate, smoked earth, sage, anis, fennel, slate tannins, this combines nuanced and sinewy tannins with a generous supple expansion through the palate, building in power and impact. Beautifully fragrant, measured and skilful. 50...
2023 Chateau Ausone - St. Emilion (Bordeaux Future ETA 2026)
The 2023 Ausone is a powerful, heady wine. Dark, layered and explosive, the 2023 possesses tremendous depth and tons of sheer resonance, something that becomes increasingly apparent with time in the glass. Strong saline notes frame a core of dark-toned...
