- 2004 Château Angélus - France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru (3/3/2013)
Purchased as future and stored in temp controlled cellar since release. Perfect cork and fill. Opened 6 hours prior to serving. Dark purple core, dark red at rim. Medium-intensity nose of black fruits, lead pencil, mint and a hint of vanillin oak. Medium body, good balance with a bit more tannin than fruit, fairly compact and crisp, no tertiary development yet, fruit and tannins battle it out in a fairly long finish. Should continue to improve - will fruit outlast tannins? Wait 3-5 years to open the next one. Excellent to outstanding.

Thanks for the note David. Have you (or has anyone else) had '06 Angelus in the past few years? Loved it early on and bought a bunch when it was semi-affordable but haven't had one for a few years.

Pomilion - I have a few bottles of the '06 in the cellar but have not cracked one yet.
