Château d'Angludet 2002 1.5L Magnum

An elegant Margaux showcasing aromas of blackcurrant, plum, violet, cedar, and subtle spice. Medium-bodied with silky tannins, fresh acidity, and refined structure, it offers exceptional balance and classic Left Bank character.

Food Pairing: Pair with roast lamb, grilled ribeye, duck breast, venison, aged Gruyère, Comté, or wild mushroom dishes.

89 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

This is an unqualified sleeper of the vintage, a beautifully opulent, rich, dense, ruby/purple-colored wine with sweet cassis fruit intermixed with some licorice and resiny notes. Quite full-bodied, pure, with good, sweet fruit covering moderate levels of tannin, this is a beauty and an undeniable bargain for a wine of this quality. In fact, I’m not sure that it’s not even better than my rating. Anticipated maturity: now-2015.
