2018 Château l'Evangile

Den største del af Bordeaux-distriktet er ret fladt, men på den nordlige side af Dordognefloden er landskabet mere kuperet. Her ligger områderne Saint-Emilion, Pomerol og Fronsac. Pomerol er et lille vinområde med 730 hektarer vin, men det har et meget stort ry. Den lerholdige jord i Pomerol giver Merlot-druen de bedste vækstbetingelser, og det er da også denne drue, der dominerer Pomerols vine.

"The 2018 L'Evangile is composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes barreling out of the glass with explosive scents of boysenberries, stewed plums and baked blackberries with hints of lilacs, candied violets, Indian spices and garrigue, plus a touch of black truffles. Full-bodied, rich and powerful in the mouth, this blockbuster coats the palate with layers of black fruit preserves and exotic spices, framed by plush tannins and wonderful energy, finishing long and savory. Decadently approachable now, give it 4-5 years in bottle for maximum impact and drink it over the next 20+ years." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robertparker.com
