We detect a subtle change in style this vintage at Angludet, maybe driven by the introduction of amphoras in the winemaking process. The bouquet is fresh and aromatic whilst the palate possesses a delectable expression, subtlety and purity of fruit. Sweet and succulent, the crunchy cassis fruits are supported by a wonderful tannin structure, with a note of cedar wood on the finish.
