  Wine Spectator
  Complex aromas of blackberry, fresh mushrooms, tobacco and wet earth. Full-bodied, soft and luxurious texture to this ripe and opulent wine. Long and decadent too. Just coming around now. Give it more time. L'Evangile at its finest. -- '88/'98 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2008). Best after 2011. 3,000 cases made."

  Weinwisser
  Tiefes, fast schwarzes Violett. In der Nase verschwenderisches, reifes und viel Wärme ausstrahlendes Cassis-Brombeer-Bouquet, feiner Minzehauch, viel dunkle Schokolade. Im Gaumen wie Seide, extrem zartes, schmelzendes Extrakt, wiederum viel Brombeeren, auch Heidelberen, Walnussnoten, feinsandige Textur im Nachklang, langes, aromatisches Finale. Ein grosser, klassischer Evangile."

  Dunkles Karmingranat, zarte Ockerreflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Kräuterwürzig unterlegte reife schwarze Beerenfrucht, Lakritze, zarte balsamische Nuancen, Orangenzesten und Nougat, feine Edelholznoten, tabakiger Anklang, sehr facettenreiches Bukett. Komplex, saftig, feine Brettnote, reife Pflaumen und Herzkirschen, ein voluminöser Wein, feste Tannine, zitro­niger Touch im Abgang, angenehme Frische, hat seine Trinkreife erreicht, reife Kirschen im Nachhall, ein vielschichtiger Speisenbegleiter mit großem weiteren Reifepoten­zial. Stoffig, mineralisch und frisch."

  Decanter
  72% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc. This has real depth of flavour and intensity that keep you gripped from start to finish. Near to its perfect drinking window. Amazing freshness at 20 years old; you can feel the flesh of the soft autumnal berry fruit given an edge by the curling cigar smoke. A true Right Bank vintage - and even more clearly a true Pomerol vintage."

  Relatively pale with a light rim. More attenuated than the Eglise Clinet. No great concentration and already quite evolved on the nose. The opposite of a blockbuster but with finesse. Quite evolved with the fruit in retreat but very harmonious already. This would make a lovely bottle for current drinking. Neat finish with medum persistence. Not as rich or sweet as the Église Clinet."
