Critical Acclaim
95 points Robert Parker
“A superb effort in this vintage, Angelus’s opaque purple-colored 1995 is a massive, powerful, rich offering with plenty of ripe, sweet tannin. The wine’s aromatics include scents of Provencal olives, jammy black cherries, blackberries, truffles, and toast. A very full-bodied wine, it is layered, thick, and pure. This is the most concentrated of the 1995 St.-Emilion premier grand crus. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2025.” (02/98)
95-points Wine Spectator
“Crushed berry and dark chocolate. Slightly reserved in the nose. Full-bodied, with loads of layered, velvety tannins. Big, yet refined and beautiful. Long and caressing. Give this time.” (2007)
93 points Stephen Tanzer
“Bright dark ruby. Sweet, superripe aromas of raspberry, plum, black cherry, tobacco, toffee and game. Like liquid velvet in the mouth: sweet, voluptuous, seamless. Palate-staining flavors of black cherry, chocolate and smoky oak. Finishes with chewy, toothfurring tannins and great persistence.” (May/Jun 98)
