In 2017 renowned consultant-winemaker Hubert de Boüard de Laforest, the driving force behind Angélus since the 1980s and undeniably the man responsible for its elevation to 1er Grand Cru Classé A status in 2012, passed custodianship to eighth generation Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal. 47% of the vines planted at Angélus are Cabernet Franc which are found on the sandy clay-limestone soils at the bottom of the vineyard and 50% Merlot which are planted on the higher limestone and clay soils. The remaining 3% of vines are Cabernet Sauvignon. The large proportion of Cabernet Franc contributes to the wonderfully powerful, yet elegant Angélus style. The vins here are mature and some small parcels of Merlot vines even date back to 1918. Organic farming is now in practice. The estate takes great care with by using cutting-edge technology to eliminate under and over ripe berries as well as de-stemming by hand, which takes a team of 150 people. Since 2018 30% of the wine is aged in large oak Foudres, the rest spending approximately 22 months in 100% new French oak barriques. This combination helps maintain freshness and aromatics whilst maintaining Angélus’ signature rich texture and deep concentration.

I like this Reserva from RdD. 100% Tempranillo aged for 24 months in oak barrels.
3.8 stars with more aging potential.
A deep ruby red and purple shades. Thick long legs in the glass.
On the nose medium intense aromas of blackberries, black cherries, black raspberries, horse saddle, leather and slightly oak.

90 pts Given the quality of the Crianza I really was delighted to find this Reserva, needs way more time to fully flower however, still very enjoyable for me now. The Crianza is ready now, but this shows sleeping intensity and great future potential and longevity, wait a few years however.
Typical earthy red fruit with good use of oak, dusty vanilla. Weighty, full with a long finish, it will be a star in the future.
