Château l'Angélus--Vintage 1998
Saint-Emilion, grand cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: A dazzling effort, the 1998 boasts an opaque purple color in addition to an exceptional bouquet of smoke, licorice, plums, black raspberries, and blackberries. As the wine sits in the glass, coffee and chocolate also emerge. Full-bodied, flamboyant, well-delineated, and beautifully balanced as well as layered, with well-integrated tannin in the powerful, rich finish, this 1998 will be at its best between 2003-2020. 93 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #134, April 2001
