  The Wine Advocate
  "A 2,700-case blend of 88% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc cropped at a low 27 hectoliters per hectare (compare that with 39 hectoliters per hectare in 2009 and 31 in 2010), this superb claret was aged 18 months in 75% new French oak. Mulberry, spring flower, black cherry and raspberry characteristics as well as hints of spice and coffee emerge from this full-bodied, opulent, structured beauty. It should age effortlessly for 15-20 years."

  "88 % Merlot, 12 % Cabernet Franc. 27 hl/ha Ertrag. Mittleres Granat-Rubin. Feines Waldbeerbouquet, delikater, vielschichtiger Duft, konzentriert, aber nicht aufdringlich. Im Gaumen mit Volumen, aber dennoch überaus elegant, langes Finale. Ein Pomerol mit Melodie."

  "Chocolate and berry and rich with gorgeous nose. Plums and berries. Full and super soft with a lovely velvety texture. Loads going on. Builds on the palate with a lovely depth of fruit and balance. A beauty."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Full bodied, rich, round, fresh, earthy, dark chocolate and plummy in character, the wine is not quite ready. The tannins are soft, but present, and the youthful vigor remains, but this will deliver the goods with just a few more years in the cellar. The wine was made blending 2008 Château L’Evangile is a blend of 88% Merlot with 12% Cabernet Franc."

  Wine Spectator
  " Fleshy, but pure and elegant, with a gorgeous beam of raspberry ganache, plum sauce and cherry preserve laced with subtle graphite, spice and violet hints. The long finish is persistent, but with some admirable power in reserve."
