Falstaff (09-2017) Dark carmine garnet, ocher reflections, broad brightening of the edges. Delicately caramelized nuances of dried figs that herald the hot vintage, nuances of strawberry jam and pickled cherries, delicate of Turkish honey and chamomile, very multi-faceted and inviting, some cedar and Havana tobacco. Juicy, elegant body, silky and sweet texture, round tannins, almost creamy in the finish, stays on for a very long time, fine herbal spice and nougat in the aftertaste, but here too the freshness given by the terroir does not miss.

 I have been a massive fan of the 1989 Château L'Evangile for many years - the best wine of the decade when it was still under the ownership of the redoubtable Mme. Ducasse, before selling a majority share to Eric de Rothschild in 1990. It fulfils all expectations here with its intense nose of blackberries, raspberry coulis, clove and wild heather. The most surprising aspect is just how backward the aromatics seem to be. The palate is extremely well balanced with fine tannin. The acidity is perfectly pitched with layers of dark berry fruit, black truffle and dried herbs - très Pomerol. Adorned with a velvety texture, is cruises towards a Merlot-driven finish that is one of the most powerful you will find in Pomerol this vintage. On this showing, you could cellar it for another 5-6 years; if not, I strongly recommend a long decant.

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.
