2011 Chateau L'Evangile
Frankrig / Bordeaux / Pomerol Rouge
The Wine Cellar Insider/Jeff Leve tasting notes 93-95/100 (April 2012): "From a blend of 94% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, the wine reached 13.6% alcohol and will be aged in 100% new oak. Yields were 32 hectoliters per hectare with the Grand Vin representing 73% of the harvest. Deep in color, licorice, chocolate, spice, black cherry, floral, plum, and black raspberry liqueur scents create the perfume. Rich, dense and concentrated, this classic style of L’Evangile is tannic with powerful, chalky tannins and a long, stylish finish".
Wine Enthusiast tasting notes 92/100 (January 2014): "Big, rich opulent, this wine has weight, concentration and layers of ripe Merlot. Structure is also there because of the black intensity of the wine, with spice and dark chocolate adding to the powerful fruit. Drink from 2017".
