Ch. Angélus (0.75 L)

WA: A strong effort in this under-appreciated vintage that sold for a song, the 2008 Ang¿ªlus is still young and vibrant, with a dense purple color and a sweet kiss of chocolate-infused blackberries and blackcurrants. There are some floral notes, as well as forest floor and lead pencil nuances. Medium to full-bodied with ripe tannin and outstanding equilibrium and purity, this is another beauty from a much more challenging vintage. Drink now through 2030.
