    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Since Evangile has been under the Baron Rothschild umbrella, this has regularly featured as one of our top Pomerols and even featured in our top wines of the vintage selections. The terroir is exceptional, situated between Cheval Blanc and Petrus and we are glad to report that they are again pressing all the right buttons. The 2009 is produced from 95% Merlot and just 5% Cabernet Franc, this is probably less flamboyant than the 2008 at this early stage, with a reserved, grown up nose, which is focussed, with brooding aromas of liquorice, molten rocks, deep black fruits and liquid minerals. The palate is awash with sumptuous purple fruits, chocolate plums and cherries. It is both decadent and very focused with restrained power, polished tannins, smooth, velvety texture and wonderful length of flavour. An immaculately made, multidimensional Evangile that will stand the test of time.

    Jane Anson,

    Smoky, grilled black cherry, enticing and confident, with ripened blackberry and raspberry fruits, pomegranate, cherry pit, white peach, sage and fennel, wrapped up in waves of smoked earth and cocoa bean. An exuberant vintage of L'Evangile, deceptively open, but will continue to age.
