Château l’Évangile is one of the oldest properties in Pomerol with a history stretching back as far as 1741. Its rise to prominence was in large part to the efforts of the Ducasse family, who owned the estate up until 1990 when a majority share was sold to Château Lafite-Rothschild. The 1990 is full-bodied and sumptuously textured, offering generous layers of plum, macerated black cherries, truffle, dark chocolate and liquorice. Though perfect for drinking now this should last a few more years yet.

Vinous
Good thick red. Very ripe aromas of melting caramel, tobacco, game, cinnamon and violets. Great sweetness and spice in the mouth; dense but not quite as fat as some right-bank '90s; very stylish, actually, with decent acids. Tannins are quite firm. As accessible as this appears to be, we wouldn't be at all surprised to see it close up in the next 18-24 months. Stephen Tanzer1st November 1993
