1994 Château Angélus
-
Fully mature and starting to fade, there is some soft, red fruit, earth, herbs and spice. But the tannins are slightly rustic. I'd drink this over the next few years as it's not going to improve and will probaby continue to decline. It's a good effort for an off vintage.

Chocolate mint, spice, cassis, red and black plum aromatics, medium/full bodied, plum and cocoa flavors with a sensation of rusticity in the tannins. This is a nice wine and a great success for the vintage, but it lacks the generosity of the best vintages of Angelus.

94 Angelus with two hours of air offers smoke, truffle, licorice, chocolate, plum, earth and coffee scents. In the mouth, while full bodied and concentrated,when the wine hits your palate it starts off with licorice, chocolate and ripe plums, but moves to some green flavors and dryness in the finish. This is a nice wine. I'm happy to own it as it cost about $30 on release. But I would not buy it for the current price. You're much better off picking the 01 or 04, which remain well priced examples of this chateau. 92 Pts

Inky, ruby color. Blackberries, vanilla, coffee and licorice scents are easy to discern. Nice palate presence. Tannic, but not fully ripe fruit. Mostly black fruit on the palate. The wines personality is on the austere side. While it has decent weight accompanied by some concentration, the austere, tannic nature stops me from loving it.
