Chateau Angelus 1998

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

A dazzling effort, the 1998 boasts an opaque purple color in addition to an exceptional bouquet of smoke, licorice, plums, black raspberries, and blackberries. As the wine sits in the glass, coffee and chocolate also emerge. Full-bodied, flamboyant, well-delineated, and beautifully balanced as well as layered, with well-integrated tannin in the powerful, rich finish, this 1998 will be at its best between 2003-2020.

Winespectator (93)

A subtle, beautiful wine. Dark, with captivating aromas of Indian spices and ripe fruit. Full-bodied, with silky, fine tannins and a long, long caressing finish.
