Wine Advocate #122(4/1999) Rating:91points Drink：2007-2025
A massive, powerful Angelus, this wine exhibits a saturated black/ruby/purple color as well as an impressively-endowed nose of dried herbs, roasted meats, new saddle leather, plum liqueur, and cassis. In the mouth, olive notes make an impression. This sweet, full-bodied, exceptionally concentrated wine is atypically backward and ferociously tannic. It was revealing more sweetness and forwardness immediately prior to bottling, but I would now recommend 7-8 years of cellaring.-Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (1/31/1999) Score: 89
Promises more in its color and nose than it gives on the palate, but a very, very good glass of wine nonetheless. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and lots of berry and chocolate character. Just a slight lack of fruit in the center-palate keeps it from outstanding.
Decanter Rating：
Opaque red; exceedingly lush nose, ripe and plump; rich, firm, concentrated, very tannic but not harsh, dense, plummy, lacks some persistence and length but powerful and structured. |
| Food Match： |
Western food: Perfect with steak and braized lamb or lame with sauces,grilled game (such as pheasant).Food with heavy soup.
Chinese food: Roast duck/goose,grilled lamb, roasted suckling pigeon,Spicy shrimps and crabs,dried or smoked meats,braised fish.
