The 2014 Le Carillon d'Angelus has a straightforward bouquet with redcurrant, cranberry and pomegranate aromas, the oak discretely hidden behind the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, not much depth, but it retains satisfying balance on the black olive-tinged finish. Drink over the next four or five years.

The Le Carillon d’Angelus 2014 is a blend of 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. It has quite a "sexy" bouquet compared to the Grand Vin with plush blueberry and black cherry scents, and a smear of vanilla from the oak. It perhaps just lacks a little precision that you might have found in a top vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, slightly chalky tannin. It is quite a compact wine with a slightly brittle but balanced saline finish. Score: 86 - 88 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2018-2030 Date: 01 April 2015 |

An aromatic and balanced red with currants, plums and light chocolate. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a bright finish. Best second wine from here for a long time. May be ever. 70% merlot and rest is cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc. Score: 91 - 92 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Date: 23 March 2015 |

A dense, powerful, explosive wine, the 2014 Le Carillon d'Angélus hits the palate with serious depth. Smoke, licorice, raspberry jam, black cherries, spices and menthol flesh out in the glass. The Carillon is a very serious second wine built on pure intensity. The blend is 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Score: 90 - 92 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Date: 05 May 2015 |

The creamed raspberry and plum fruit glides along, with substantial but silky tannins and a long, spice-infused finish. Features a lovely violet hint. Score: 89 - 92 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Date: 01 April 2015 |

Nervy and racy. Silky textured at first but pretty dry on the end. Very polished. Rather inky. Score: 16 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2020-2028 Date: 01 April 2015 |
