This has a bright cherry red robe, which is matched by the vibrant red fruit flavours on the palate. Its fine powdery tannins, medium body, and vibrant freshness make it ideal for early drinking. CP

The 2016 d’Angludet has a ripe, opulent bouquet, very pure and very Margaux, featuring a mixture of red and black fruit and a subtle floral aspect. The palate is well balanced, supple and rounded, slightly ferrous on the entry and offering raspberry and crushed strawberry toward the sustained finish. A delicious d’Angludet to jump on, considering no 2017 was produced. 2019 - 2026
The 2016 D'Angludet has a rather conservative bouquet that needed some encouragement from the glass. But it eventually reveals attractive blackberry, briary and subtle pressed flower aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with good body and fine density with this Margaux property's consistent sense of approachability. It sounds banal, but there is something instantly likeable about this D'Angludet. It is not an extravagant Margaux, however there is enchanting purity and harmony. It's just the charm that I am sure will be intact by the time of bottling. Drink with pleasure 8-10 years. Drink Date 2020 - 2032
The ever-popular Angludet is success again this year. Maybe not better than the excellent 2015, but who's complaining when there is this depth of fruit and presence. As it opens in the glass, you really start to see and enjoy the sheer quality on display. Cassis, coffee bean, beautiful richness to the fruit, and well held together by freshness and tannin.
Impressive and also focussed, this is a superb Angludet with gently extracted Cabernet holding court and freshness and lifted tannins on the finish. Without the naked power and richness of 2015 vintage, this is an incredibly engaging wine with energy and drive. Winemaker Benjamin Sichel thought that initially this wine was lacking in depth, but it has grown during its élévage and I think that the balance is perfect. It is amazing that a wine made without any obvious excess of richness or tannins can be so satisfying and complete.
Dark crimson. Some sweetness and slightly simple fruity aromas. Some silky quality and the merest hint of less-than-perfectly-ripe fruit. Pretty and unforced but not top drawer. A bit stringy on the end. Drink 2025-2040
Plump, silky and seductive are the words often used to describe wines from Margaux. Because of their style, they tend to be user friendly and more approachable when young. This is in part due to its terroir which is comprised of the thinnest soil as well as the highest proportion of chunky gravel in all of the Médoc. It drains well but also is it more susceptible to vintage variation. Margaux wines tend to have the highest proportions of Merlot within the core of the Médoc further adding to their ample roundness and openness. Margaux is home to the largest number of classified growths including its namesake first growth, Château Margaux, as well as third growths, Palmer and d'Issan.
