Parker about Chateau Angelus 2007
Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Angelus has a really quite wonderful bouquet with dark cherries, crushed strawberry, hints of orange blossom and cedar that contain much more energy than many of its peers. The palace is very crisp and nicely structured on the entry. The acidity is very well judged, and there is a sense of effortless charm in the silky smooth, lightly spiced finish. Everything here is just ticking along nicely. Excellent. Tasted February 2017.

Chateau Angelus 2007

The 2007 Château Angélus is a renowned wine from the Saint-Émilion appellation in the Bordeaux region. It is often considered one of the finest wines from this region, reflecting the distinctive characteristics of the terroir and grape varieties.
The 2007 vintage was characterized by cooler conditions and later ripening of the grapes. This resulted in a more elegant and lighter style of Château Angélus compared to some other vintages.
On the nose, the Château Angélus 2007 presents a delicate aroma of red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by floral notes and a subtle spice. Light smoky and mineral nuances are also noticeable in the background.
On the palate, the wine displays a good balance between fruit intensity and structured elegance. The tannins are well integrated and give the wine a pleasant texture. The flavor of ripe red fruits continues, complemented by delicate spicy notes and a subtle minerality. The finish is long, harmonious, and leaves a pleasant impression of freshness.
The 2007 Château Angélus is a wine that can be enjoyed young, but also has the potential to age. With appropriate storage over the coming years, it will further develop its aromas and gain complexity.
This wine is an excellent accompaniment to dishes such as roasted meats, game dishes, or strong cheeses. However, it can also be enjoyed on its own to fully appreciate the wine's subtle nuances and refinement.
