Continuing quest to taste as many 22’s as possible.

Nose shows similarities to Vincent Dauvissat. Honeysuckle-honeycomb, butterscotch, melted butter, biscuits, yellow florals.

The palate reveals good viscosity, round, long & thick. Meyer lemon, apricots, yellow peach, red & green apple, syrupy pineapple, white spice, limestone marl, grey volcanics, sea spray-saline, muddy chalk, flint, almonds, yellow & white flowers, excellent round acidity and beautiful, balanced, well polished, lush finish that lasts just over two-minutes and landing on spice & minerals.

Will merit another point or two w/ appropriate age (5 plus years) and is a better buy at $220 than the 22 Dauvissat for $20 more. — 19 days ago

Seriously delicious 2nd label from Angelus — 2 months ago

Yes. Still very tightly end, there’s a feeling of complexity and subtlety from the tightly wound Orchard fruit. The focus is under underlying tension, with a touch of woodsy hazelnut and a long acid driven finish. Reminds me of PYCM in a good way — 6 months ago

Opened this for my 44th namesake, and well; there’s some of that distinct ripe red cherry in top quality red burgundy, followed by faint earthy notes with an intense acidic finish. Pondering if I open too soon or if that’s the Corton profile. Let me know. — 8 months ago

Third wine from Angelus, wine is pale red with some purple. I think its because of merlot aging. On nose its plums, figs, oak with stronfg smokiness, tropical. On palate its so smooth, medium acidity, juicy, succulent, on intensity i think this wine already passed its peak. Should drink it like 3 years earlier. Still a good wine but if you want to try it, do it with younger wine. Cheers! — 2 months ago

Impressive for its youthful exuberance, especially given that this is a 2016 second wine.
Notes of coffee, menthol and cherries on the nose. Dark chocolate gives way to bright tannins and taut acidity. Nice texture and weight on the mid palate. Finishes like a much younger wine. Right up my street. On the 95 bubble.
