Chateau L’Evangile 1994

Parker über: Chateau L’Evangile

-- Parker: L'Evangile's 1994 is an awesome effort that may rival, perhaps eclipse the 1990. The only other L'Evangile it appears to resemble is the 1975 - a great wine in an irregular vintage. The 1994 displays a saturated purple color, and a huge nose of violets, cassis, licorice, and minerals, with no evidence of new oak. Massive on the palate, with extraordinary concentration, high tannin, low acidity, and a dazzlingly long finish that lasts for nearly a minute, this is a wine of outstanding richness and impressive structure. I do not believe it will be flattering to drink young. It will require 10-12 years of cellaring and keep for 30+ years. A tour de force in winemaking! 94-96
