Chateau Angelus Tempo d'Angelus Bordeaux Rouge

Red cherries, strawberries and some dried herbs on the nose - crystalline and really apparent. Crunchy, cool, fresh and full of life, gorgeous sweet and salivating acidity. Quite sleek and streamlined with some tension and a tiny bit of bitter orange and lots of clear minerality. Great frame, open. Shiny. Lots of cooling freshness on the finish.

The 2023 Tempo d'Angélus is designed to be a less expensive cuvée, a weekend drinking Angelus to basically pop 'n pour, whereas No. 3 is more focused toward restaurants. It has plenty of fruit on the nose: raspberry and black cherries, just a hint of shoe polish. The palate is medium-bodied with a bright entry. Mainly black rather than red fruit, quite peppery and lively with a slightly rustic but enjoyable finish. Does the job it is designed for.
