Chateau Angludet 2010

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (90)

A major sleeper of the vintage, as I thought from barrel several years ago, the 2010 is one of the best d’Angludets I have tasted. It should drink nicely for 15-20 years, but there is no reason to defer your gratification. It is a sexy, up-front, precociously styled d’Angludet with a deep purple color, loads of floral notes intermixed with licorice, blueberry, black raspberry and, of course, the classic creme de cassis. It is dense, ripe, soft, round and surprisingly accessible for a 2010. A beauty!

Winespectator (91)

This has a pure loganberry and damson plum core, with lilac, warm pebble and lightly singed anise notes flittering through the background. Offers well-integrated structure through the finish, with subtle minerality echoing.

Jancis Robinson (16.50)

Tasted blind. Deep garnet with brick rim. Mature aromas of undergrowth but also lots of sweet, mature black fruits, a bit meaty. Spicy dried fruits though not raisined. Leathery and developed on the palate but still offering pleasure in its spicy complexity. A wine to chew rather than sip. (JH)

Wine Enthusiast (92)

A very complete wine, packed with just the right level of tannins and with the sweet plum fruit pushing through to give richness to the acidity.
