Description

Chateau Angelus 2005
St. Emilion
Bottle (12)


“Truly great stuff, this wine performed at a three-digit level both in the horizontal tasting of 2005s in Baltimore, as well as in Montreal at this mini-vertical. This sensational, opaque, bluish/purple wine offers up notes of vanillin, spring flowers, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, plus a touch of licorice. The wine hits the palate with a thunderous cascade of ripe, rich, concentrated fruit. It is full-bodied, multidimensional and layered. The tannins are beautifully integrated but still present, and the wood, acidity, alcohol, etc., are all beautifully assimilated in this magnificent, majestic vintage of Angelus. It can be drunk now, but it is still an adolescent and that suggests it has at least another 25–35 years of longevity.” (100 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Aug. 2015)


Estimate: $4,750 - $6,000.

Shipping Restriction: Please note that we cannot ship to addresses in Mississippi, so please bid accordingly.
