Chateau L’angelus (Saint Emilion Grand Cru)

2015
Dense, dark and muscular, featuring waves of warmed fig, plum and black currant paste that roll in with warm ganache, baker’s chocolate and espresso accents. A huge swath of smouldering tobacco is brewing on the finish, which has a brooding feel, thanks to tannins that hit like a thunderclap at the end. If you’ve got time to wait… Best from 2028 through 2045.
