Nose: The wine exhibits a lively, deep, dense, dark purple colour. The aromas were carefully preserved throughout the vinification process and display a vast array of fresh black fruits and an intensely floral side reminiscent of violets.
Palate: Smooth and juicy but also delicate and precise, the 2022 reveals the hallmark freshness and verticality of the Cabernet Franc. The oak is already well-integrated, allowing crisp, flavoursome ripe fruit to come to the fore. A long and spicy finish is underpinned by silky, tight-knit tannins, with flavours that linger long in the mouth. This vintage is rich in salinity and complex, with great tension and freshness, showing the capacity of the Angelus terroirs to adapt to climate adversity.
