CHÂTEAU ANGÉLUS 1998

Saint-Émilion. Premier Grand Cru Classé
u. 2 x bn. 3 x wrinkled labels. 1 x scraped label. 1 x scraped capsule

The 1998 Angélus, a blend of 40% Cabernet Franc and 60% Merlot, is deep garnet colored with a touch of brick. The nose is completely...WOW! It has an incredible array of smoked meats, incense, cigar box and dusty earth notions over a core of baked cherries, dried mulberries, preserved plums and dried roses with wafts of lavender, menthol and new leather. The palate is medium to full-bodied, rich, intense and packed with black fruit preserves accented by complex savory and earth-inspired flavors, supported by wonderful freshness, textured by plush tannins and finishing with fantastic tension. This still has loads of life—25+ more years! May 2018 Drink: 2018-2043 WA 98

3 bts.    per lot $1,400 - $1,600

Realised: $1,656
