Wine List/Chateau Angelus

[SOLD-OUT] Chateau Angelus St Emilion 1988

Jancis Robinson 17/20 Points!

Variety:  Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon
Appellation:  St Emilion (Right Bank)
Region:  Bordeaux, France

The 1988 is a rich, almost lusty St.-Emilion, with a full-throttle bouquet of licorice, spicy new oak, cassis, olives, and minerals. Full-bodied, deep, and concentrated, it offers excellent extract, and a long, heady, moderately tannic finish."
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 88 Aug 1993



"Very deep, blackish crimson. Fading rim. Big, bold, brutal, still with quite obvious tannins. Thick. Quite tough still. For chewing not drinking."
Jancis Robinson, Oct 2005


After a wet winter and spring, September was especially dry and contributed to the concentration of colour and tannins in the grapes. The skins were very thick. The wines have deep colour and combine breeding and elegance with a magnificent, chiselled tannic structure. Drink: 2030
