2022 Chateau Angludet 0,375 l - halbe Flasche - Margaux AC

Decanter.com – 95 pts – GH: *Really fragrant, you can smell the Petit Verdot with milk chocolate and blackcurrant aromas - open, fresh, appealing, perfumed, generous and lifted. Clean and pure on the palate with a lovely delicacy of flavour and freshness. Black fruit has concentration but this keeps a sleek, focussed frame - so balanced, moreish and perfectly weighted in the mouth. Juicy, chewy, spiced - complete and long and leaves you wanting more. A complex and mouthwateringly fresh Margaux with tang and style. One to look out for! 3.8pH. A yield of 26hl/ha. Ageing 12 months; 30% amphora, 70% French oak (30% new). The first time in Angludet history that the blend has been finalised before ageing.* - 04/2023

Falstaff Magazin – 91 pts – PM: *Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Frische rote Herzkirschen, einladende Frucht, zarte Kräuterwürze und Mandarinenzesten sind unterlegt. Mittlere Komplexität, saftig und süß, gute Frische, ausgewogen, bietet unkompliziertes Trinkvergnügen.* - 01/2023

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate – (91-93) pts – WK: *The Bordelais machine has already begun to alienate potential consumers with exaggerated claims to the effect that 2022 is the “best vintage ever”; yet there are some wines that do actually appear to merit such hyperbole, and the 2022 D’Angludet is one of them. Offering up deep aromas of inky cassis, plums, pencil lead and subtle spices, it’s medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a broad attack, ripe acids and a supple,, seamless profile, concluding with an expansive finish.* - 04/2023

WeinWisser – 18/20pts – GL, TW: *7 % Merlot, 40 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 13 % Petit Verdot, 13.5 Vol.-%, pH 3.8, 26 hl/ha, 65 % Barriques, davon 30 % neu, 35 % Amphoren. Verführerisches blaubeeriges Bouquet, Schokopastillen, satter Veilchenstrauß und Lakritze. Am kompakten Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, herrlicher Extraktfülle, tänzerischer Rasse, engmaschiger Struktur. Im gebündelten aromatischen Finale Heidelbeere, dunkle Mineralik und edle Adstringenz gepaart mit feiner Salznote. Das erste Mal, dass der Merlot dominiert; das Gut ist in Umstellung auf Biodynamik.* – 04/2023
