2005 La Fleur de Bouard Lalande de Pomerol

ANGELUS SIBLING
Hubert de Bouard owns Premier Grand Cru Classè A, Angelus, in St Emilion, he (or his daughter) produced this label as well. Standard can’t be too far off, I absolutely enjoyed the 09, value for money. Coming from a top vintage 05, I had my high expectations.
Not too bad, although heavily oaked and fruity, I was able to tell from the nose. Palate wise, some graphite, some chunky fruits, a bit of charming elegance. I was expecting a little more, but perhaps older technology defying them.

Very modern, but pretty good. Cassis, earth and graphite notes were mixed with mocha and toast on the nose. Very deep though, and quite lovely. Palate was rich, with tons of cassis, along with more graphite, some herbs and a toss of earth, all nicely balanced. Finish was good as well. Decent length, nice flavours of cassis, green pepper and some smoky coffee ground.
