A major sleeper of the vintage and one of the best d'Angludet's I have ever tasted, this Margaux displays loads of red and black fruits, licorice, tar and floral notes in a medium to full-bodied, supple, hedonistic style. The acid is low, the fruit high, and the tannins sweet and well-integrated. Drink it over the next 10-12 years.
Licorice, blackberry and lightly toasted oak. Full-bodied, with velvety and polished tannins that follow through to a refined and delicious finish. So pretty already.
Very dark purplish crimson. Exotic scents of lilies and citrus peel - unusual! Sweet, soft and polished. Juicy and well done. Though much more intense and New Worldy than classic Margaux. Fun. Date tasted 31st March 2010. Drink 2016-2030.
Black red, very good extraction of crushed berry Cabernet fruit, supple and rich on the palate with robustness and weight and fragrant complexity to come. Drink 2014-2024.
Once again a sleeper of the vintage, the fresh, broad, fat, fleshy 2009 d'Angludet exhibits attractive floral, charcoal, smoky black raspberry and cherry notes, a delicious, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, an endearing freshness, and a heady finish. Drink it over the next 10-15 years. (Tasted two times.)
Tasted at the Margaux UGC. This has quite a broody nose at first, taking a few minutes to unwind. A blend of 12% Petit Verdot, 38% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, this has a blackcurrant, a touch of iodine and crushed stone that displays fine precision and fruit purity. The palate is medium-bodied, furry tannins, lacks a little freshness on the mid-palate with some savoury notes dominating the finish, I suspect from the Petit Verdot. Rather introverted at the moment and the finish is rather dry. Hopefully this will flesh out during barrel ageing. Tasted March 2010.
