Critics' Tasting Notes:

"The 2021 D'Angludet exhibits aromas of cherries, cassis, licorice and loamy soil, followed by a medium-bodied, supple and lively palate that's seamless and charming, even if it isn't the most characterful wine this Margaux estate has ever produced."

(87-88/100) points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, April 2022

"Mid crimson. Rather alluring ripe nose. Very soft and round. Not a long-distance runner but a true Margaux-style wine for early drinking. There's even a hint of an ethereal quality about this. Good Value?"

16/20 points, Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, May 2022
