Wine Spectator October - 1994
Wine Spectator
Good color with an infusion of plum and violet aromas; full-bodied and extremely fresh with plum, berry and dark chocolate flavors. Firm and fresh finish. A bit tough; needs time.

(1-2003) Losing some of its luster, this wine reached maturity very quickly and now seems to be turning the corner in a slow downward spiral. The wine has a dark plum color with considerable amber at the edge. The exotic nose of dried herbs, camphor, Asian spice, licorice, and black fruits is followed by a soft, round, medium-bodied wine that is beginning to show some hardness to the tannin and a rather dry, scratchy finish. It needs to be drunk up, but still remains a very tasty, elegant style of l’Evangile.

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.
