Profumato e rotondo. Bella tensione a palato. Finisce con tocco femminile marchio di casa Durantou.

So I drank two bottles of bdx side by side this weekend. This, fourth (!) wine of '20 Angelus and Les Cruzelles '18 from the Durantou family. Both a Pomerol blend of merlot and cabernet franc. I liked this the most and I give this a 92 for sheer pleasure and unbeatable qpr. The cab franc gives this just the right amount of of medicinal herbs to keep things moving on the palate. A serious, balanced and complete big(ger) wine that is drinking well already at three years after bottling. Bought a sixpack at around 20€ a bottle. Will stack this if this comes along from a decent future vintage. — 5 months ago

2015 vintage. A very fine Castillon by Denis Durantou ( of Eglise-Clinet fame). Better the second day, so you might want to decant. Totally outperforming stablemate Les Cruzelles ( Lalande de Pomerol), tasted alongside. Good red fruit concentration, balancing the typical Castillon chalkiness. 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.Abv. 14,5% — 20 days ago
