Tasting Notes
This is a delicious second wine from Angelus. The flavours are juicy, ripe and generous. Velvety textured tannins balance the firm acidity and vibrant fruit. Very well made with exceptionally well handled tannins. Jeannie Cho Lee MW asianpalate.com

A good, possibly excellent effort, the 2010 Carillon d’Angelus is made from a selection from the larger Angelus vineyard, but it does not live up to the quality that vineyard routinely produces. Composed of equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc, it offers lots of red and blue fruits along with medium body, but it seems somewhat monolithic and uncharacteristically straightforward for a wine from proprietor Hubert de Bouard. It should be consumed during its first 10-12 years of life. May 2011, www.robertparker.com
