Magnum. 20% Cabernet Franc, 80% Merlot. Dusty nose – something a bit metallic. Simple, angular wine with some ripe fruit and sweetness. Heavy selection? Dry, dusty finish. Fast fade. Only just alive. (JR)

Still quite deep with evolution only at the rim. Very fully evolved nose, almost a note of decay. Sweet, simple start and then pretty coarse, rustic tannins. You wouldn’t want to buy this now and if it’s in your cellar, drink it immediately! (JR)
What a surprise in an incredibly difficult year! Angelus has turned out a fully mature wine that needs to be drunk up over the next 3-4 years, but notes of olive, black cherry, and currant are present, along with some leafy, fern-like, forest smells. The wine is medium-bodied, soft, and one of the undeniable successes for this miserable vintage. Anticipated maturity: Now-2007. Last tasted, 4/02.
Extraordinarily good. one of the stars of this weakling vintage. Black cherry and berry flavors, full-bodied, velvety and fresh. Long, long finish. Drink now. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1996
