Château Angélus Tempo d'Angélus 2022 750ml

A tight, linear red with lots of currants, salt and cloves on the nose and palate. Really spicy. Medium-bodied with firm, polished tannins and a flavorful finish. A new wine from the owners of Chateau Angélus, from the area of Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux.

This is fresh and crunchy, with a salty, dark-berry and chocolate character. It's medium-bodied with delicious fruit. 90% merlot and 10% cabernet franc from Cotes de Castillon terroir. It's so attractive now. Why wait?

The 2022 Château Angelus Tempo is juicy and lively, with a beautiful, crunchy style in its black cherries, spring flowers, and sappy, leafy tobacco-like nuances. It's beautifully balanced and has integrated acidity and fine tannins. The blend is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc aged 18 months in barrel.  (Jeb Dunnuck)

A value-priced release from this brilliant estate, the 2020 Tempo D’Angélus comes all from vines owned by Château Angélus and is based on 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc aged 18 months in barrel. It’s well worth seeking out and has a dense purple hue to go with classic Right Bank Merlot black cherry and black raspberry fruits, tobacco, cedarwood, and floral nuances. Rich and medium to full-bodied, with good mid-palate density and a great finish, it should certainly be an outstanding wine.

A smoky wine with acidity and a soft texture, this is full-bodied and balanced between freshness and blackberry fruit. Drink from 2026.

The 2022 Tempo d'Angélus, which comes from the Côtes de Castillon on mainly limestone soils. Aimed to be fresh and approachable, it aged in 40% new oak. This offers blackberry and wild strawberry scents on the nose, needing just a few swirls to open. It's very fresh, almost shrill. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, slightly tart red fruit laced with orange rind and that limestone imparting light minerally notes on the finish. Drink this over the next three to five years.<br/><br/>
