Saturated black colours. Great aromatic complexity already, with layered floral, fruit and spice notes: hugely seductive. Intense, vivid, sappy and vigorous on the palate, with huge on-board resources of punchy, power-drive plum and sloe fruits. Taut and tight-skinned, with deft tannic definition, yet astonishingly deep below the water line - one has the feeling that one really is tasting the tip of the iceberg. This is a grand, long-haul mouthful (15 years +) which strikes just the right balance between sweet fruits and bitter-edged intensity. Angelus just keeps on getting better.
