Tasting notes
The 2008 Angélus offers a still youthful, vibrant color as well as a classic Angélus bouquet of spice box, black currants, tobacco, and hints of white truffle. This elegant, silky effort is beautifully balanced, with sweet tannin and a great finish. It's going to keep for another two decades.

Tasted blind. Dark ruby. Sweet, ripe and rich on the nose. Chewy end. Fresh and lively. But rather a sudden finish. (JR)
Luscious new-oak scent still leads the nose, with rich black fruit that has a slightly confected edge to it. Grainy tannins give a tight finish, and the persistence is still oak-centric in flavour profile. (RH)
