Château d'Angludet 2023

Description

A brilliant Angludet in 2023. Fresh aromas, smells clean and lively, blue fruit, minty aspects. Soft floral perfumed accent also, very Margaux. Soft and smooth, very open and accessible - this has such charm with a gentle plushness. Feels as if it's from a ripe vintage, the fruit and tannins are ripe, soft, powdery with bright blackcurrant and cherry. Lovely mint freshness on the finish. It's gentle, calm, not at all severe or too straight with a drinkable, fresh feeling. Fun and friendly but also serious with underlying power accented by menthol, liquorice, tobacco and cedar spice on the finish. 20hl/ha yield. No press wine. Very light pumping overs. Vinification in concrete. 12 months ageing, 60% barrels (30% new), 40% amphoras. 3.7pH. Drinking window: 2029-2045. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
