Sporting a deep garnet-purple color, the 2016 Angélus erupts from the glass with powerful notes of blackberry pie, ripe black cherries and juicy black plums with an undercurrent of star anise, rose petals, chocolate mint, pencil shavings and woodsmoke plus a waft of allspice. The palate is pure decadence. Medium to full-bodied, rich and generously fruited, this wine is by no means heavy—it positively glimmers with freshness and vivacity, lending an ethereal nature to all that richness and power, beautifully framed by velvety tannins and finishing with epic length. The generosity, layers and plushness make for an absolutely DELICIOUS drink right now, but I'd suggest waiting 3-5 more years for the fireworks to really begin.

這個(gè)年份的金鐘酒莊（Chateau Angelus）紅葡萄酒表現(xiàn)極佳，酒款非常豐富。余味驚人，單寧絲滑，酒款風(fēng)味架構(gòu)更為直接，不像某些年份那般含蓄。酒款風(fēng)格動人、清新，強(qiáng)勁。我喜歡這種輕松的感覺，酒款帶有深邃、緊致的黑色水果風(fēng)味并在風(fēng)味的邊緣呈現(xiàn)出干草本的滋味。該酒擁有肥美的感覺但絕不明顯，隨著陳年很有可能變得更加厚實(shí)，并迎來它的巔峰期。酒款展現(xiàn)出不錯的活力、力量以及濃郁度，而且現(xiàn)在這款酒完全適飲。酒體與全新橡木桶帶來的元素完美融合，可以說是巨大的成功。調(diào)配中含有60%的梅洛（Merlot）和40%的品麗珠（Cabernet Franc）。pH值達(dá)到多年來的最低值——3.7（2009年應(yīng)該為3.9），這主要是因?yàn)槌墒炱诘臅円箿夭钶^大，減緩了葡萄成熟進(jìn)程，為酒款提供新鮮感。

酒款顏色深邃，帶有一些松露、泥土、植物、深色水果和紅色水果的香氣，口感上，有精品酒店中舊亞麻制品的質(zhì)感，果味精細(xì)、誘人，風(fēng)味集中。果味富有活力，質(zhì)地如天鵝絨般順滑，與酒款的深邃、復(fù)雜以及余味的長度相結(jié)合。這款酒由60%的梅洛（Merlot）和40%的品麗珠（Cabernet Franc）混釀而成，酒莊總產(chǎn)量的67%用于釀制正牌酒。
