Palmer, by the way, is one of those châteaux where the wine is sold by the bottle to us retailers, rather than the case - you know you're dealing with the 'big dogs' when that happens! Angludet would no doubt have been 'classified', as Palmer and other châteaux were in 1855 (Palmer is a third growth, but is often referred to as a 'super second'), but it was split up as part of an inheritance settlement and didn't qualify. Shame for them, but better for us and our pockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 is ready to drink now, and will continue to develop nicely through to 2046. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93pts, James Suckling:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e'Ripe, fruity character here, with aromas of cassis, blackberries, licorice, dark chocolate and walnuts. Medium-bodied with a polished, creamy texture, firm tannins and a chocolatey mouth-feel. Deep core of fruit and a meaty structure. Succulent and refined. Try after 2024 and onwards.'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e16pts, Jancis Robinson MW: \u003c\/strong\u003e'Tasted blind. Looks relatively evolved.

Not the most intense Margaux in 2019, but easily one of the more supple, inviting and easy to love. Clear Margaux signature with delicate violet flowers on the aromatics. Definitely one to look out for from the Sichel family.'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92pts, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e'The 2019 Angludet has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. It is a little closed to begin, soon offering glimpses at baked plums and cassis scents, followed by hints of pencil shavings, baking spices, and lilacs. The medium-bodied palate coats the mouth with generous black and blue fruits, framed by plush tannins and seamless freshness, finishing spicy.'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePS beady eyed drinkers will notice that we no longer add the D' to the name (it used to be known as Château D'Angludet). I can find no reference as to why it's changed, it just has.
