Angular
Intermediate Tasting & SensoryDefinition
A wine with sharp, prominent acidity or tannin that feels pointed.
In Depth
Angular wines lack roundness — their structural elements jut out rather than flowing smoothly. Young Nebbiolo and cool-vintage Cabernet can feel angular. With aging, angularity often softens as tannins integrate. Some tasters use angular positively to describe precision and definition in lean, mineral-driven wines.
