Jean-Marc Quarin July - 1999
Jean-Marc Quarin
Colorful. Good intensity. Incense. Ash. Very fruity as. Idem. It gives me the Angelus the most elegant I know with 60% Cabernet Franc harvested 5 to 13 natural. Slender in the mouth, fleshy in the first part of the mouth, the wine evolves pulpy tannic and ends in the final, firm but not harsh, and especially aromatic. Long persistence. To be continued. This wine will talk about him.

Complex and intense aromas of forest floor, wild berries and dried flowers. Full-bodied, with ultrasilky tannins and a long, long finish. Racy and classy. Wonderful now but has a long life ahead of it. Better than I remember.

Round, balanced and plummy without the structure and depth I expected to find in a 1996 Angelus - the wine is ready to enjoy now and quite a nice drink, but it lacks the depth and complexity one would expect from a top property like Angelus.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
A massive, powerful Angelus, this wine exhibits a saturated blackrubypurple color as well as an impressively-endowed nose of dried herbs, roasted meats, new saddle leather, plum liqueur, and cassis. In the mouth, olive notes make an impression. This sweet, full-bodied, exceptionally concentrated wine is atypically backward and ferociously tannic. It was revealing more sweetness and forwardness immediately prior to bottling,.

1996 Angelus could be on already the down hill side. With light aromatics coupled a black raspberry and cranberry flavored finish and medium body, the wine showed less fruit and more acidity than when last tasted. Drink up.

Magnum. 45% Cabernet Franc, 55% Merlot. Healthy glow of ruby. A hint of herbaceousness on the nose. Very round and fruity on the mid palate. Just a bit angular – but it has the stuffing to continue to develop. Rather leathery finish, like the 2001. Lots of luscious fruit on the front palate. Neat and satisfying.

The vineyard of Château Angelus is located on the foot of coast, a steep hillside facing south. The clay-limestone soil rests on a calcareous base. The grape variety is composed of about 51% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. In some years as in 2003, the share of Cabernet Franc even exceeds that of Merlot! Mature wine 18 to 22 months in new barrels. Since 2018, the castle Angelus initiates its conversion to Bio which should be completed in 2023.

The greatest vintages of Château Angelus are 1988, the 1989 vintage wines, 1990, 1993, 1994.
