Château L'Evangile
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend
Pomerol, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
The powerful and dense l’Evangile 2015 is according to some experts the last vintage of the classic style of the chateau. I have no experience with more recent vintages, all I can determine is this wine is wonderful. Fairly fragrant. The palate is voluptuous with a creaminess and melted tannins. Ripe fruits, baking spices, black truffle, olives, peppercorns, rock salt, sweet tobacco, noble wood, chocolate, roasted coffee beans. So opulent and so delicious.

4 hour decant(lots of chunky sediment). A breathtaking inky dark ruby red color. On the nose: blackberry, baking spice, smoke, plum, licorice, and some spicy pine. Taste: smooth, rich medium plus body wine with black cherry, tar, vanilla caramel, cassis, cigar box, and a dark chocolate strawberry bitter finish. Interesting to drink now(pop one if you have several)!!! Got more bottles and will see how it develops over the years for a possible better score(critics luved it)......modern style at 15.5% alc (whew!!).

This is going to be fantastic in 10 years. Pitch black and complex, it projects as a high 90’s wine.

Thick, strong blueberry flavors and a bit savory. Opening a bit after 5 hour decant. Seems like it has great potential. Will put in a dark corner of the cellar and check in again in 10 years. This is not even close to being ready.
