2016 Château Angélus, 1er Grand Cru Classé 'A' St Emilion
Duty Free (EP)
60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc
Picked from 4 to 21 October and matured entirely in new oak, it has a very intense bouquet with multilayered blackcurrant, blueberry and floral notes, very refined and precise, not unlike the 2010 in some ways, but I would argue this is more sophisticated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp acidity, symmetrical in terms of focus with just the right amount of sappiness on the saline finish. It is a superb Angelus from the de Boüard family, destined to give pleasure over many, many years. Once in bottle, I expect it to land towards the top of my banded scale. Drink Date 2026 - 2060. Scores: 96/98 - Neal Martin
Incredible depth of fruit. Dense yet agile and energetic. It has so much dynamic fruit and tannin structure. Makes you want to taste and taste. What a young wine! We will see if 2016 is better than 2015. Both are great. Scores: 99/100 - James Suckling
The nose has brooding richness the palate is fleshy and supple with ripe black fruits concentrated and rich. The tannins are fine wrapped round with fruit the sweetness at the back underpinned by fresher fruits a lovely complex mix of flavours. 2027-40. Scores: 17+ - Jancis Robinson
