18 Rene Gabriel
03 (74 % Merlot, 26 % Cabernet Franc, 75 % einer Normalernte): Extrem dunkles Violett-Granat. Offenes, ausladendes Bouquet; schöne Schwarzteenote und Lakritze, Pflaumenkompott, aber auch ein leichter Luftton darin. Tolle, schwarzbeerige Aromatik (Black Currant) und eine schmeichelnde Süsse im Extrakt, reife Säure und intensives Rückaroma; Kandis, Vanilleschoten – alles fein und nobel verpackt. Kann sich noch weiter sehr positiv entwickeln, weil erst im Nachklang eine intensive Adstringenz entsteht. Ein Wein, den man vielleicht unterschätzt, denn seine Anlagen sind mehr oder weniger sensationell. Unter allen Pomerols einer der Feinsten und auch Besten! 18/20 2009 – 2035

90 Robert Parker
A successful wine for a Right Bank Pomerol, this is an elegant but strongly constituted, medium-bodied LEvangile with a deep ruby/purple-tinged color, sweet blackberry, raspberry notes, with a distinctive earthiness, medium body, surprising potency (13.8% alcohol) and a long finish with sweet tannin. The blend in 2002, according to Jean Pascal Vazart, was 78% Merlot and 22% Cabernet Franc. The tannins are sweeter than I would have thought, so I suspect this wine will drink well early, but have good keeping qualities. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2017

Aromas of fruit and coffee, with hints of smoke. Medium- to full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a medium finish. Lovely fruit to this subtle wine. Evangile didn't push it here and offers a wine with elegance and length. Best after 2006. 2,500 cases made. JS

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.
