Château l'Évangile 2014

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

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!

James Suckling

The blackberry, mushroom and oyster-shell character really comes out. Full body and flavors of dark chocolate, walnuts and concentrated berries. Structured. Bitter-chocolate aftertaste.

VertdeVin

The nose is fruity, gourmand, elegant and concentrated. It reveals notes of blackberry, cassis and a touch of liquorice combined with a hint of fruit. The palate is fruity, sleek, racy, well-balanced and offers tension as well as a good and silky matter. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry and Quetsche plum associated with a hint of blueberry, licorice and a slight hint of Ceylon tea. Tannins are well built.
