CRITIC REVIEWS
Stephen Tanzer
The bottle in the blind flight was corked. Second bottle: Impressively saturated dark red. Exotic, slightly candied aromas of raspberry liqueur, roasted meat, coffee and chocolate. Wonderfully sweet and mouthfilling, but the wine underlying minerality adds to the impression of lift and grip. Spreads out impressively to saturate the palate. A compelling example of this wine, finishing with strong but fine tannins and terrific verve. But the '61 is even richer. Drink now through 2020.

The L'Evangile has been rather inconsistent since I first encountered it. Here, the nose is overawed by the Trotanoy 1982 served alongside. There is sense of conservatism here, a lack of exuberance and ambition that many of its peers exploited, whereas L'Evangile does not know quite what to do. It is certainly well balanced on the palate, structured and more linear than Trotanoy but somehow missing the animation and tension one would have liked on the finish. It is not a bad L'Evangile by a long shot, but the bottom line is that it seems rather charmless. Tasted December 2013.

Ruby and quite evolved-looking. Rich start and yet finishes dry. Spicy and sweet fruited with a rather dusty finish. Less obvious flesh than the Conseillante 1982 served blind with it.
