"Ethereal nose: floral, somewhat closed, and very peppery. An almost sweet attack on the palate, while very silky and fine-grained, round and harmonious, with well-integrated acidity; has thrust and substance and a lot of tactile minerality. Cabernet-tinged finishing notes, with good length. " |
Staff Notes:
"The 2014 L'Evangile comes racing out of the blocks on the nose with plenty of black cherry, blueberry, cold stone and black truffle scents, quintessentially Pomerol with impressive delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly grainy texture, lovely black fruit here laced with Earl Grey, spice and sage, quite intense and fanning out gloriously towards the long finish. This seems to have gained precision after bottling and I did warn that it may merit a higher score. This is a deeply impressive L'Evangile that might challenge Lafite-Rothschild in the long term. Chapeau!" 95 Neal Martin
"Big, bold and ripe, this is a rich wine with its 82% Merlot. It is jammy while keeping its tannins and structure. Ripe and full in the mouth, the wine is firm enough to age for a long time. It is going to be generous, full and ripe." 94 Wine Enthusiast
