Carillon d'Angelus, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

Medium ruby color. Perfumery lush nose of redcurrant, red cherry, forest floor, soft spices and soft oak. Dry, bright acidity, prescient tannins, palate follows through. Medium body. Very good balance. Medium finish.

Purchased for 57,50 € from collector, only one bottle in my cellar. + Preparation : decanted 1/2 bottle for night 1, vacuum sealed the bottle for night 2 + Color : transparent medium red color, clearly some evolution at the rim + Nose : needed some swirling in the glass to open up. Beefy, peppery, nutmeg, slightly cooked red fruits, some influence of wood but not disturbing you, sweaty, reminded me of juices from a well cooked steak + Taste …

Bordeaux Confidential USA, first time tasting this wine, slightly closed fruit on the nose, hints of cigar box, cherry fruit, and plum, opened nicely with swirling in the glass, tasty, medium body, medium/long finish.

Nose is meaty and challenging -- pork and pineapple? A touch of herbs/menthol/rosemary on the palate gives a cool quality. Finish of lavender.

youthful but showing signs of maturity, tannins needed to resolve more but quite drinkable after brief decant.

2013 editon of En Primeur - Kelly and Kevin’s excellent adventure; 3/26/2014-4/1/2014 (Mostly in Bordeaux and a night in Paris) : Red and blue fruits, fresh. Soft and silky. Early drinker.

Simple if well balanced, light and fruity. Bordering on flat.

floral roses aroma, light fruity wine, medium-bodied, light wine, even too flat
