Tasting Notes
Vinous 90
The 2016 d’Angludet has a ripe, opulent bouquet, very pure and very Margaux, featuring a mixture of red and black fruit and a subtle floral aspect. The palate is well balanced, supple and rounded, slightly ferrous on the entry and offering raspberry and crushed strawberry toward the sustained finish. A delicious d’Angludet to jump on, considering no 2017 was produced.
Anticipated maturity: 2019-2026

The 2016 D’Angludet has a rather conservative bouquet that needed some encouragement from the glass. But it eventually reveals attractive blackberry, briary and subtle pressed flower aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with good body and fine density with this Margaux property’s consistent sense of approachability. It sounds banal, but there is something instantly likeable about this D’Angludet. It is not an extravagant Margaux, however there is enchanting purity and harmony. It’s just the charm that I am sure will be intact by the time of bottling. Drink with pleasure 8-10 years.
Anticipated maturity: 2020-2032
