Critics Ratings

'The 2006 Château Angelus, a blend of 47% Cabernet Franc, 50% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, has a very perfumed bouquet with scents of blueberry, cassis, crushed violets and just a touch of mushroom. This is very generous. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth, slightly toasty entry. The acidity is quite low compared to other 2006 Saint Émilions, but there is harmony here and the tannins seem very fine. There is real density on the finish, although I was just seeking a little more delineation to come through. Give this another two or three years in the bottle. Drink 2018-2032.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 94/100 (May 2016)

'This has a gorgeous nose of black licorice, black cherry and sage. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a very long finish. There is beautiful texture for the vintage. Enjoy the fruit and richness.' - James Suckling, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Mar 2009)
