Barrel Sample. The wine has crisp fruit, layers of black currants and ample perfumed fruit. It's a bright wine, with a background of firm tannins.

The 2016 D'Angludet has a rather conservative bouquet that needed some encouragement from the glass. But it eventually reveals attractive blackberry, briary and subtle pressed flower aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with good body and fine density with this Margaux property's consistent sense of approachability. It sounds banal, but there is something instantly likeable about this D'Angludet. It is not an extravagant Margaux, however there is enchanting purity and harmony. It's just the charm that I am sure will be intact by the time of bottling. Drink with pleasure 8-10 years.
