2013 Château Angludet, Margaux, Bordeaux

More elegant than many vintages, it delivers in so many other ways. Aromas of sweet bright fruit jump out of the glass, silky velvety red berry notes with good, supple richness. The structure behind this wine provides perfect balance and harmony with a beautiful uplifting and generously long finish. We are not sure how many will follow Angludet’s example but despite the room for manoeuvre being much tighter at this level, they are aware of the market needs so have released almost 20% below the release price of 2011.

A sweet and fruity nose shows hints of spice and there is a really attractive mouthfeel. Ben Sichel was worried about ripening, particularly in regard to his Cabernet Sauvignon, but we think he has succeeded with good depth and weight of fruit shining through on the palate. 25% of the estates yield was used for this 2013 and there were just 65,000 bottles produced in this vintage, rather than 90,000 in 2012.
