Château L'Evangile
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend
Pomerol, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Masterclass in San Francisco with Saskia De Rothschild, Chairwoman DBR Lafite. Chateau L’ Evangile is another property owned by the Rothschild Family.
The nose reveals; dark, deep currants. Ruby, ripe, blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, blueberries, baked strawberries and black raspberries. Dark chocolate, cinnamon, caramel, clove, touch of nutmeg, dark rich soils, steeped black tea, some black licorice, tree sap, eucalyptus notes, leather, soft tobacco, saddle/wood with ruby, fresh and withering dark, red flowers with soft violets.
The body is full. The mouthfeel gorgeous. The tannins firm, powdery, tarry & sticky. currants. Ruby, ripe, blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, blueberries, baked strawberries and black raspberries. Dark chocolate, cinnamon, caramel, clove, touch of nutmeg, dark rich soils, steeped black tea, some black licorice, tree sap, eucalyptus notes, leather, soft tobacco, saddle/wood with ruby, fresh and withering dark, red flowers with soft violets. The structure, tension, length and balance are beginning to find its groove. The acidity is nice round and beautiful. The long finish is, sexy on the palate, ruby gorgeous, well balanced, polish and beautiful. It lingers nicely for minutes.
All wines arrived weeks ago directly from the Chateau.
Photos of; the Crown Room on the 23rd floor of the Fairmont where the Masterclass was held, tasting set up, our double decanters and pourers and another view of the city of San Francisco.

Tasting group 2/7/16. Blind. Capsicum, hard, black plum. Capsicum in the flavors, odd tartness. Guessed right bank.

Dark rubi robe, nose of black plum, dark berries and a hint of flowers. Very elegant and complex, full bodied but light on its feet, no overripe merlots here, done in the classical way. We love it very much and think its one of the best of the right bank in this small vintage.

Bold powerful Bordeaux. Dark fruit. Deep cherries and some gravel.

Aug 15th, 2022Took a minute for this to open up, but when it did, it was fantastic. Fruits kept some boldness, but still had some earthiness in there. Great velvety mouth feel. @Mes Amis with Tara, Bo & Kevin

Jul 15th, 2022Wow. Kaleidoscopic wine. Dark cherries, dark chocolate, tobacco, roses and violets, a precise, pure, elegant and complex wine that is great now but will stand the test of time. Tanins are polished as can be and the wine is long and same time subtle. Great stuff. Highly recommended. Get one bottle and see for yourself.
