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/>
