A stunning example of the vintage, the 2004 l’Evangile is not far off the pace of their brilliant 2005. A blend of 89% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Franc (3,000+ cases produced), it exhibits a deep ruby/plum color, superb ripeness, and sweet blackberry, truffle, acacia flower, licorice, and toasty oak aromas. This knock-out effort is surprisingly rich, opulent, and fruity with good glycerin, medium to full body, and a stunning finish. It should drink beautifully young yet age for 15 or more years.

95: Tiefes Granat. Nussig pflaumiges Merlot-Bouquet mit Malznote und etwas marmeladiger Frucht. Im Gaumen im Moment stark von der Barrique dominiert, sattes Extrakt, eine gewisse Strenge in den Tanninen. Die Frucht wirkt insgesamt etwas zu reif und es fehlt an Beerenaromen. Zeigt weniger Konzentration als der grossartige 93er. (17/20). 08: Dunkles, aber dezent mattes Granat. Offenes Bouquet, dunkles Malz, Früchtetee, Jasmintee, Erdbeergelee. Samtener Gaumen, weich, gewisse Cheval-Aromen, was auf einen reifen Cabernet Franc hinweist, mittelgewichtiger Körper, elegant, schöne Länge und lange nachklingend, mit grünwürzigem Touch endend, scheint jetzt in der vollen Reife zu sein. austrinken (2000 - 2015)

Producer
Château L'Évangile
The esteemed Château L’Évangile produces an impressively deep, structured and powerful example of Pomerol wine. Located on the southeast corner of the Pomerol plateau, the estate’s 22-hectares of vineyards are planted amongst the rarest gravelly topped sandy clay soils. With a history dating back to the mid-1700s, the château is one of the oldest vineyards in the appellation. Passing through the hands of several owners, L’Évangile is currently under the ownership of the Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite). The Rothschild family acquired the winery in 1990 from the Ducasse family, and has promised to preserve L’Évangile’s superior reputation. Over the past couple decades, the family has increased efforts in the vineyard’s management, and completed a thorough renovation of the château’s vat room and cellar. Under the Rothschild family’s leadership, the château has also created a second wine, Blason de L'Évangile which is an approachable red made in a similar character as the Grand Vin. While, Château L'Évangile the Grand Vin is traditionally vinified, it shows a dense and sturdy base of tannins with evident oak that is harmoniously integrated.
