Chateau Angludet, Margaux 2021

The 2021 Angludet is aged 50% in amphora and 50% in barrel, non-chaptalized with 30% new oak and a fair slug of Petit Verdot. It has an attractive bouquet with blackberry, melted tar and graphite aromas. There’s a spring in its step. The palate is light-bodied, but in not pushing this Margaux, it retains balance and freshness. It possesses a slightly gritty texture toward the Pauillac-like, graphite-tinged finish. This is not to be overlooked.
