Château Tour Bayard L'Angelot (Montagne-St. Émilion)
Meaty, chewy, rich and fleshy, the wine offers a big blast of dark, spicy fruits, espresso, cocoa, black plums and cherries with a salty edge in the finish. This is best thought of as rustically charming. Drink from 2025-2040. 1,342 Views Tasted Mar 21, 2023Dark in color and fruit, the wine is ripe, lush and concentrated with a meaty, savory character. There is length, rocks, stones, assorted herbs, licorice, smoke and a rustic charm in the finish. Let this age for 6 years or so, and it will be a lot of fun to drink. As it is made from close to 100% Malbec old vines, it is a cool wine to bring to a blind tasting. 91-93 Pts 2,160 Views Tasted May 20, 2021 |

Dark in color, the wine is earthy, spicy, rich, lusciously textured and character driven. Mouth coating, long, fresh, full-bodied and fully packed with peppery, deep red fruits, this is one of the cooler wines I tasted from 2018 due to its unique blend of 90% Malbec and 10% Merlot. Not much is made, so look out for it if you can find any. 1,163 Views Tasted Mar 9, 2021Lush, round, dark, juicy, ripe, sweet, fleshy cherries surrounded by licorice and chocolate in a forward style, and for a fair price!
