Château Angelus - Saint-Émilion Grand Cru (Premier Grand Cru Classé) 2003 (750ml) TarijaIn the annals of Bordeaux's rich winemaking history, the 2003 Angelus from Chateau Angelus is a remarkable chapter that continues to enthrall connoisseurs and investors alike.

Manual punch downs were done during fermentation

and the Marie Weiss is a lovely counterpoint from the Ployez family for those who really want to drink their bubbly right after it is purchased

giving them a lively crispness on the palate and outstanding minerality

Wrapped in a mysterious elegance

as much Tokaji as tokay

chicken salad and a tasty piece of cheese

pepper and anise are revealed

and soft vanilla

noble and austere

crisp acidity and touches of dark chocolate toward the finish
