Chateau Angelus skus_7747849 alluring noseKudos to proprietor Hubert Bouard, who has been making brilliant wines at this estate since the mid to late 1980s. A blend of 58% Cabernet Franc and 42% Merlot, the beautiful (14% alcohol; 6,500 cases produced) is somewhat tightly knit, but it reveals a perfumed nose of rose petals, blackberries, menthol, and cedar. This broad, sweet supple attack is followed by a tannic mid section. The wine does not appear to be as dense or structured as the 2004.
