Château L'Evangile
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend
Pomerol, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
It's time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark ruby in color with a wide brick rim.
Nice nose with red and black fruits, light oak, tobacco leaf, light mildew, cola and dark coffee.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, earth, vegetables, forest floor and black pepper.
Short finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 27 year old is still drinking very nicely, although definitely not at its peak anymore. Complex and engaging.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.
I Had this same vintage a little while ago, and this bottle drinks much better. At this age, the condition of the specific bottle is very imperative.
Will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years. Always nice to drink these kind of old wines.
12.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$250.

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday.
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing currents, plums, cherries, oak, wet leaves, herbs, black pepper, tobacco leaf, earth, dark coffee and black tea.
Short finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 26 year old Merlot is still drinking very nicely. Showing a nice mouthfeel with nice complexity.
Will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years, but will not improve from here on.
Needs an hour to open up properly, so be patient.
This was not a good vintage in Pomerol, but it held up pretty well.
Good by itself or with food.
