96-100 Parker: "I tasted this three separate times, and on two occasions I thought it had the potential to be a perfect wine. The home estate of Hubert de Bouard, this 62+ acre vineyard produced a 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc blend in 2009, with yields of 20 hectoliters per hectare, and a whopping alcohol degree of 14.5%. Of course, the latter component is not even noticeable, as that is one of the erroneous myths about high alcohol in some 2009 Bordeaux. It just doesn't show, thanks to the wine's extraordinary concentration. This is a fabulous wine, with that tell-tale, dense, inky blue color that Angelus always seems to achieve. It displays an extraordinary nose of acacia flowers (or is it violets?) intermixed with blueberry liqueur, black raspberries, cassis, licorice, incense, and graphite. Full-bodied, viscous, with great intensity , vibrancy, and transparency, this is one of the all-time great wines from Angelus and a 21st century version of their 1989 and 1990. It should drink well for 20+ years - at the very minimum. (Tasted three times.)"
19 Weinwisser: "Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Heisses Bouquet, Malztöne, schwarze Oliven, dunkle Edelhölzer, Arabica-Kaffee, Korinthen und Black Currant, darüber tanzt versöhnlich eine frische Minzenote, die sich mit just gepflückten reifen Brombeeren ergänzt. Im Gaumen mit reichem Körper und muskulöser Adstringenz, viel schwarze Beeren im verlangenden Finale. Ein massiver Angélus mit dramatischer Konzentration für übermorgen. Vor 10 Jahren läuft hier nichts."
