Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Château Angelus a blend of 47% Cabernet Franc 50% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon has a very perfumed bouquet with scents of blueberry cassis crushed violets and just a touch of mushroom. This is very generous. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth slightly toasty entry. The acidity is quite low compared to other 2006 Saint Emilions but there is harmony here and the tannins seem very fine. There is real density on the finish although I was just seeking a little more delineation to come through. Give this another two or three years in bottle. Tasted January 2016.

Full ruby. Vibrant aromas of crushed blueberry and bitter chocolate are further brightened by a violet quality. Dense sweet and lush with terrific depth and freshness to its dark fruit mineral and violet flavors. This is really creamy-rich for the vintage. Finishes with smooth chocolatey tannins and outstanding palate-saturating length. It's hard to imagine how Hubert de Bouard managed to get such a deep layered middle palate without any sign of overextracted tannins or heaviness but he has managed this neat trick.

This has a gorgeous nose of black licorice black cherry and sage. Full-bodied with velvety tannins and a very long finish. There's beautiful texture for the vintage. Enjoy the fruit and richness. Best from 2013 through 2017.
