Expert's opinions

95 / 100
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
A beautiful L’Evangile and one of the vintage’s top successes, the color still retains a very dense ruby/purple with only a bit of lightening at the edge. A classic nose of liquid intermixed with black raspberries., blackberries, licorice, and a hint of truffle jumps from the glass of this medium to full-bodied, very concentrated, well-balanced, sweet, authoritatively powerful yet at the same time elegant wine. It has reached full maturity , where it should rest for some time to come. Anticipated maturity: Now-2017. Last tasted, 11/02.

Rich yet elegant with very deep, concentrated black currant and herb flavors and smoky tannins; long-term potential.

Evangile (L')
The grand vin of Château L'Evangile is described in an old edition of "Grands vins de Bordeaux" (Dussaut editions) as "...full, elegant wines with incomparable bouquet and finesse." For many wine enthusiasts, subtle and elegant quality is indeed the hallmark of this wine.Grape varieties in the wine: 80 to 90% Merlot, 10 to 20% Cabernet FrancAging duration in oak barrels: 18 months, with 70% new barrels.Average annual production: 2,000 to 3,000 cases per year. After a cold and wet winter, high temperatures in March and April favored the start of vegetation. Then, a long, gray, temperate period without excess continued until August, requiring enhanced technical monitoring. The good weather stabilized in early September and eventually favored good and calm grape ripening. This vintage is characterized by a 13-moon year and a longer than normal vegetative cycle.Discreet nose. Very round on the palate, full attack, generous mid-palate. Finish with a solid texture. Very well-integrated oak.
