Tasting notes
Very good colour intensity. The Archange 2015 has a dense and deep appearance. Opulent nose of mixed black and red fruits; blueberry compote spiced with liquorice and Bourbon vanilla. The attack is full, quite dense, both lively and very silky. The beautiful Merlot tannins typical of Archangel are present, with a freshness throughout the tasting that is characteristic of its clay terroir. Beautiful structure, both elegant and armed for long bottle ageing with already a nice aromatic complexity enhanced by notes of cocoa and brown tobacco.
