Wine Advocate
Reviewed March 2017The 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! (NM)

Rose petals aromatics, attractive juicy character, there is balance here, and a slow unrolling of liquorice, black chocolate, peach pit. I got a second bottle of this, and it really delivered the depth and texture that you want in L'Evangile, but worth noting there may be bottle variation. 80% new oak.

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.

Wine Enthusiast
Big, bold and ripe, this is a rich wine with its 82% Merlot. It is jammy while keeping its tannins and structure. Ripe and full in the mouth, the wine is firm enough to age for a long time. It is going to be generous, full and ripe. (RV)

A Rothschild-owned Pomerol jewel sitting in rarefied company—bordered by Pétrus and a stone’s throw from Cheval Blanc. From the estate’s privileged gravel-over-clay terroir comes a wine of real opulence and precision. Plush black cherry, plum, and crème de cassis lead, deepening into truffle, cocoa, violets, and a savory earthiness that only great Pomerol delivers. The Merlot-led palate is velvety and seamless, with polished tannins and a long, perfumed finish. At a decade old it’s drinking beautifully but has years left to give. Decant an hour and savor it with something special.
