Chateau Angludet Double Magnum 300cl 2013

Château Angludet, Margaux, Bordeaux, France, Double Magnum (300 cl), 2013 

Grapes: A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, sandy/gravel soil over limestone, oak aged (1/3rd new) for 12 months

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. 

"A tantalising deep ruby hue with dark purple tints! The nose bespeaks youth and combines fresh fruit, blackcurrant and redcurrant, with notes of mild spice. The palate is just as beguiling, nicely but not overly structured and perfectly balanced with extract imparting the texture, depth and elegance typical of any great Margaux! Just the right amount of noble, perfectly smooth tannin underpins a plump palate which is both aromatic and fresh. An outstanding achievement in a difficult, much disparaged vintage." Ben Sichel Winemaker. 

"This wine has attractive black-currant fruits and fresh, light acidity. It's an early-developing wine with soft tannins and a stalky backdrop. Drink from 2018."
