Chateau Angelus, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2019 Astrolabe a hint rather than overpoweringRedcurrants, sweet tobacco and flowers with some sandalwood. Very perfumed and floral. So pure. Full bodied, yet so refined and layered, with a soft, compact palate and a crushed velvet mouth feel. Poised fruit at the end, together with fresh, rare wood and a light chocolate undertone to the aftertaste. This is open, yet theres so much in reserve. 60% merlot and 40% cabernet franc. Leave it in the cellar for at least eight years. 98 Pts James Suckling
