2015 Château Angludet, Margaux, Bordeaux

40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot.

What a lovely, rich and fresh wine. Ch. Angludet is always one of the most reliable châteaux. The rich concentration is so generous and rewarding. I love the sweetness at the front of the palate. It has good depth, a bit of intensity and lovely tannins that harmoniously combine with an appealing acidity on the finish. Often described as a traditionalist's wine, this is rather delicious. Cabernet provides the power here, but it is so restrained, floral, aromatic and flavoursome. Margaux performed very well in 2015 and this wine reflects the quality of the vintage. Given that the price is always appropriate to the quality of the wine here, we have no hesitation in recommending it.
