CHÂTEAU ANGÉLUS 1990

Saint-Émilion. Premier Grand Cru Classé
u. 2 x bn. 2 x scraped labels

A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, this is clearly the greatest Angelus until the 2000, 2003 and then the perfect 2005. Beautiful, sweet plum, blackberry and blueberry fruit soar from the glass of this opaque, purple wine that still hasn’t lost much in color. Deep, opulent, voluptuously textured, full-bodied and multidimensional, this is a stunner and just now approaching its plateau of full maturity, where it should stay for at least another 20 years. August 2015 Drink: 2015-2035 WA 99

2 bts.    per lot $1,400 - $1,600

Realised: $1,776
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
