Parker about Château Angelus 2005
Truly great stuff, this wine performed at a three-digit level both in the horizontal tasting of 2005s in Baltimore, as well as in Montreal at this mini-vertical. This sensational, opaque, bluish/purple wine offers up notes of vanillin, spring flowers, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, plus a touch of licorice. The wine hits the palate with a thunderous cascade of ripe, rich, concentrated fruit. It is full-bodied, multidimensional and layered. The tannins are beautifully integrated but still present, and the wood, acidity, alcohol, etc., are all beautifully assimilated in this magnificent, majestic vintage of Angelus. It can be drunk now, but it is still an adolescent and that suggests it has at least another 25-35 years of longevity.

Château Angelus 2005
The 2005 Château Angélus is an iconic Bordeaux wine from the prestigious Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation and is considered one of the finest vintages from this renowned winery. Classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé A, Château Angélus is known for powerful, complex, and long-aging wines, and the 2005 vintage is often considered exceptional.
In the glass, the wine shines a deep ruby red with violet reflections, hinting at its youth and concentration. The nose is impressively complex, with intense aromas of ripe black currants, blackberries, and dark cherries, accompanied by a hint of plum. Added to this are nuances of cedar wood, cigar box, vanilla, and roasted coffee, indicating the use of new oak and careful aging. Subtle notes of truffles, cocoa, and violets add additional depth and complexity.
On the palate, the 2005 Château Angélus is both powerful and elegant. The tannins are ripe and silky, yet give the wine impressive structure and longevity. A lively acidity brings freshness to the rich fruit flavors, while the wood notes are well integrated and harmoniously round out the wine. Aromas of dark chocolate, mocha, and spices lead to a long, complex finish.
This vintage shows great aging potential and can be stored for many years to come. Château Angélus 2005 is a prime example of the house's excellence and the quality of the 2005 Bordeaux vintage.
