Chateau d'Angludet Margaux, 1981

At our Christmas eve table, this 1981 d'Angludet had the unenviable task of following two excellent Cabernet-based wines: 1985 Sociando Mallet and 1978 Conn Creek Lot 1.
 Actually, it measured up quite well and may well have been my favorite.

Intense bouquet of fruit and flowers. Some, but not all at the table, detected some vegetable notes. Red as well as black fruits and cassis. Tart cherries on the long finish. This is clearly the most mature of the three wines on the table tonight, but it is showing very well for a wine from the mediocre 1981 vintage.
