18 Rene Gabriel
86 % Merlot, 14 % Caberent Franc. Mittleres Granat, rubiner Rand. Herrliches Lebkuchenbouquet, Spekulatiusgebäck, Lakritze, Moschus und Irish-Moos, fein würzig. Im Gaumen elegant, mittlere Konzentration zeigend, Schwarzteearomen, schöne Muskeln aufweisend, eine feine Bitternote im Extrakt, sanft spröde Tannine die noch Zeit brauchen. Weist ein beträchtliches Potential auf, viel Rückaroma. Wie der Cheval Blanc an alte grosse Jahrgänge von der Aromatik her erinnernd. Muss sich beweisen, dass er seine Benotung halten kann warten (2015 - 2030)

The sexy, dark ruby/purple-tinged 2006 l?Evangile achieved 14% natural alcohol, as high as any of the great vintages at this estate. Abundant amounts of dark raspberry and black cherry fruit intertwined with sweet plums and hints of figs as well as spring flowers jump from the glass of this medium to full-bodied, fleshy, supple-textured, silky wine. Drink it now or cellar it for 15-20 years.

Bright ruby-red. Reduced, wild nose offers black raspberry, graphite, tobacco and dried flowers. Sweet, dense and deep, with a lush texture for the year and a chocolatey ripeness to the flavors of leather, game and cedar. For such a pliant, sexy Pomerol, this has lovely verve and backbone.

Displays blackberry and earth, with a mushroom undertone. Full-bodied, with pleasant fruit and a medium finish. Tight. Needs to come together. A little disappointing after such an amazing 2005. Best after 2014. 2,900 cases made. ?JS<br/>

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.
