Oh so smooth and rich. A bold deep flavored Cabernet. This is what people drink Cabernet for. — 5 years ago
Napa’s most beautiful wine! Just stunning black fruit but oh, so soft and silky. Absolutely great with red meats. — 6 years ago
1985 vintage. Decanted and open 3.5 hours before tasting. Oh hell yes. Can go another 3-5 years in this end-game, optimal drinking window, Beguiling nose filled with feminine cocoa powder. A flavor/tasting sense of eternity here. Underrated property that usually gets plenty of recognition but ages better than expected. Would/will take a meh vintage of L'Evangile vs a solid/great vintage of many comparable Right Bank properties. 8.19.23. — 2 years ago
One of my half dozen and man have I been enjoying them. Tart sweet fruit with all the unctuous aged Hunter Shiraz flavors. — 5 years ago
Thought this would be dead but the cork held up! About 30 minutes of pleasure than quickly faded and ox’ed in the glass. Oh well. Dried sour cherry, tobacco, graphite, potting soil, green peppercorn, porcini mushrooms, cigar ash, worn leather. Light, vibrant acid. — 2 years ago
Chocolate, raspberry...tobacco. Lingering flavors and tannins. — 5 years ago
