50% Merlot; 47% Cabernet Franc; 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich, optimally ripened and simply loaded with deep, superbly extracted fruit, Angelus outdoes the seeming limits of 2006 and delivers a plush, but beautifully balanced wine of real richness and depth. Its tailored tannins lend just the right sense of spine without truncating the wine's remarkably long flavors, and there seems little question that what is good now will only get better over the next six to ten years.
Full ruby. Vibrant aromas of crushed blueberry and bitter chocolate are further brightened by a violet quality. Dense, sweet and lush, with terrific depth and freshness to its dark fruit, mineral and violet flavors. This is really creamy-rich for the vintage. Finishes with smooth, chocolatey tannins and outstanding palate-saturating length. It's hard to imagine how Hubert de Bouard managed to get such a deep, layered middle palate without any sign of overextracted tannins or heaviness, but he has managed this neat trick.
