Al naso, l'annata 2014 dello Château Angélus rivela un vino elegante e di grande purezza. Questo Premier cru classé ½ A » di Saint-Emilion ha una bocca potente e strutturata con un buon equilibrio tra i tannini e la freschezza. Il Cabernet Franc rappresenta il 50% dell'assemblaggio con il 50% di Merlot e sublima il vino con eleganza. Dominano la complessità e la persistenza.
The 2014 Angelus has developed with some panache during its barrel maturation and now in bottle, it conveys attractive blackberry, briary and vanilla pod aromas, the oak neatly integrated. It is not the most powerful bouquet that Hubert de Boüard de Laforest has ever overseen, though it offers precision and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a crisp line of acidity, quite compact and linear in the mouth with a subtle oyster-shell note that tinctures the black fruit towards the persistent finish. It is no showstopper, yet there is craftsmanship and terroir-expression here and it should drink well for two decades.
