Château L'Evangile, Baron Eric de Rothschild, Pomerol 2019
Critic tasting notes:
"Fruit-tea, blackberry, tile and ripe-fruit aromas follow through to a full body with density and richness. Chocolate and walnut. Dense and seamless with super fruit and length. Lots of fruit. Very polished. Stylized. All the cabernet franc on the estate is in the wine. From organic grapes. Give it at least five to seven years to open. Try after 2026." - James Suckling
"Deep, dark, rich, and opulent, this flamboyant wine serves up an elixir packed with dark chocolate-covered cherries, plums, espresso, truffle, licorice, smoke and wet earth. Full-bodied, concentrated, dense and intense, this is hedonism, but the high alcohol does impart some heat that takes away from the overall experience. The wine blends 83% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. This is the first time Cabernet Sauvignon has been placed in the blend. Drink from 2025-2040." - Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
"The wine from an estate owned by the Rothschild family of Château Lafite-Rothschild, has great ripeness with elegant black fruits and succulence, rich and dense. It has beautiful black, spicy fruits. Young, it is packed with juicy acidity at the end. Drink from 2026." - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast
