Chateau D´Angludet 2018

WEINWISSER: "Purpurrot mit rubinroten Reflexen. Betörendes Bouquet von reifen Pflaumen, dominikanischem Tabak und Schokopastillen, dahinter rotes Johannisbeergelee und dunkles Edelholz. Am eleganten Gaumen mit cremiger Textur, stützendem Tanningerüst, herrlicher Extraktfülle und energiegeladenem Körper. Im aromatischen lang anhaltenden Finale ein Korb mit Schattenmorellen, edler Cassiswürze und zarten Graphitspuren, endet mit zarter Adstringenz. Best-Buy aus Margaux!"

JAMES SUCKLING: "Ripe berries with some stewed fruit and currants on the nose. The palate is full and very rich with chewy tannins that are bold and slightly rustic, yet very attractive at the same time. A more traditional feel here. Try after 2024."

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feiner Schokoladetouch, ein Hauch von reifen Kirschen und Feigen, kandiertte Orangenzesten. Saftig, komplex, angenehme Extraktsüße, seidige Tannine, mineralisch-salzig, süße Frucht und Nougat im Nachhall, gute Länge, ein facettenreicher Speisenbegleiter."

WINEADVOCATE: "Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 D'Angludet comes sashaying out of the glass with alluring baked cherries, stewed plums and spice box scents with wafts of unsmoked cigars, pencil lead and fallen leaves. Full-bodied, rich, plush and seductive in the mouth, it has plenty of spicy sparks among the ripe black fruits and finishes spicy."

ANTONIO GALLONI: "The 2018 Angludet has a very attractive bouquet of pure blackberry and blueberry fruit, a discreet floral element and glimpses of cassis coming through with aeration. It is delicate but very refined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a little pinched on the entry but gradually fanning out toward the finish, which is detailed and full of tension. One of the best vintages of Angludet that I have tasted in recent years."

DECANTER: "A successful Angludet, with a ton of bright and sappy berry fruits, and a clear sense of uplift through the finish. Benjamin Sichel winemaker at this much-loved family estate. Dinking Window 2023 - 2038"
