Tasting notes
Leafy herbs, black cherries, smoky oak, iron, and a kiss of chocolate all emerge from the 2023 Chateau D'Angludet, a ripe, round, straight-up seamless Margaux revealing beautiful mid-palate depth, ripe, polished tannins, and remarkable purity. It’s a seriously good, impressive Margaux that stands out in the vintage for its overall balance and texture. Count me impressed.

Licorice, espresso, flowers, cocoa, herbs, and currants already express their essence on the nose and medium-bodied, fresh, crisp palate. The cherry, and currant finish displays a nice touch of chocolate, touched by oak, and savory herbs in the finish. Already approachable, this will probably be at its best in its youth.
The 2023 Angludet is deep garnet-purple in color. It slips gracefully from the glass with a subtle nose of black cherries, juicy strawberries, and bay leaves, plus a waft of roses. The light to medium-bodied palate is lightly chewy, with delicate red berry and savory flavors, finishing with an herbal lift.
A polished and in-check red with blackberry, dark-chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. It has a medium body, creamy and round tannins and a savory finish. Well done for this estate. Better than 2022.
