Lot 447 Details
CHÂTEAU ANGÉLUS 2001

Saint-Émilion. Premier Grand Cru Classé
u. vts. wrinkled label.

A real sleeper of the vintage, and somewhat underrated and under the radar after the greatness of 2000, the 2001 Angelus is on a faster evolutionary track than the 2000, but it is a plush, sexy, succulent style of Angelus with a dense plum/purple color, loads of chocolate, blueberry and blackberry fruit, telltale floral scents in the intense fragrance, and a lush, voluptuously textured and opulent mouthfeel. This wine seems to have entered its plateau of maturity, where it should stay for at least another 10-15 years. It is a major sleeper of the vintage. August 2015 Drink: 2015-2030 WS 92 WA 97

1 bt.    per lot $400 - $600

Realised: $744
