1989 Angelus, St Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classe

A similar hue to the Chateau L’Angelus 1990 although the nose is more open, fleshier and expressive (though not as well defined.) Smoke, cooked meats, a touch of burning embers, tobacco and a touch of mint. The full-bodied palate is beautifully balanced; more rounded than the 1990, very complex, perhaps more intellectual than the 1990 with raspberry, a touch of lemongrass, spice, touch of bitter chocolate. Less opulence and richness on the finish with a refined, elegant finish. Everything you could really want a Saint Emilion to be. Stunning. Drink 2015-2035. Tasted July 2007.
