Chateau L'Evangile, Pomerol 2011

"A dark, grippy, structured version, with a strong charcoal spine running through the core of dark fig, steeped plum and black currant fruit. Loam and bittersweet cocoa notes check in on the finish, endowed with ample buried acidity. Should stretch out pleasantly, but this will need a little more time than most other 2011 Pomerols to round into form." - Wine Spectator

"Brooding nose offers rich blackcurrant and black cherry scents complicated by sexy oak, violet and minerals. At once pure, dense and silky, offering complex, fresh flavors of dark plum, spicy blackcurrant, vanilla, coffee and liquid minerals. Finishes sweet and extremely long, with seamless ripe tannins. Typically graceful and precise L'Evangile with sneaky power." - Vinous
