Blason de L'Evangile, Pomerol 2018

"A very juicy second wine with chocolate, blackberries and hints of espresso on the nose and palate. Medium to full body, firm and chewy tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Shows drive and density. Relatively soft and polished. Second wine of L’Evangile." - James Suckling

"The 2018 Blason de l'Evangile is made up of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc; Merlot was harvested September 19 to October 2, and Cabernet Franc was picked September 25 to October 1. Deep garnet-purple colored, it gives up open, spicy scents of powdered cinnamon, cloves and aniseed with a core of black cherry compote, warm plums, chocolate box and dried mint. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating black fruits with tons of evocative, spicy accents, framed by rounded tannins and finishing with a lively lift." - Wine Advocate
