Verkostungsnotizen
Vinous 88-91
Saturated ruby color. Fruity aromas of blackberry, blueberry and violet, plus a whiff of peach. Supple, suave and beautifully balanced; not thick but sweet and dense for the vintage. Notes of licorice and mocha. Finishes with good length, sweet tannins and no rough edges.
Robert Parker 89
Tasted next to Clinet ’97, this is certainly the better wine. A much deeper colour, more youthful. The nose has a touch of graphite and gravel inflecting the black fruits: good definition and lift, with a touch of espresso developing in the glass. The palate is full-bodied with good structure, the Cabernet seems quite ripe rendering this Left Bank in style. Reserved towards the finish, lacking a little flesh with a tobacco lingering on the aftertaste. Austere for L’Evangile but quite attractive. Drink now-2012. Tasted September 2006.
Anticipated maturity: 2008-2012
