Chateau L'Evangile 1997

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (89)

A pure, truffle and black raspberry-scented nose with oak in the background defines the classic style of l'Evangile. Nearly outstanding, this sexy, ripe, medium-bodied wine offers gorgeous levels of fruit, not a great deal of density, length, or tannin, but plenty of near-term appeal. Many consumers will score this offering higher on the pleasure meter than the above rating might suggest as it is very seductive.

Winespectator (89)

Really delicious. Complex aromas of plums, tobacco and coffee. Medium to full in body, with soft, medium tannins.
