Vinous Tasting Notes
-
The 2011 l'Evangile has a rather sweaty bouquet at first maybe just a little forced in the winery? Menthol scents emerge with time. The palate is spicy on the entry a little richer in style than its peers good body and depth with a savory white pepper and clove finish. Peaking now though it will give several years more drinking pleasure. A second bottle poured is much better. Cleaner and more focused on the nose earthy red fruit mixes with hoisin and truffle. The palate is medium
- bodied with supple tannins fresh and focused with a delineated finish this is one of the few to offer a touch of mineralité.
