Château L’Evangile 2021 – Pomerol

The nose is fruity, fine, delicate and offers a fine stretch, a lovely delicacy, a fine velvety quality, a lovely delicacy of discreetly tight/racy grain, depth. There are notes of bright blackcurrant, pulpy/sparkling plum and more lightly crushed raspberry combined with fine graphite, madagascar pepper and fine blueberry as well as a subtle hint of blond tobacco, a discreet hint of peony and cocoa. The palate is nicely fresh, fruity and reveals juiciness, a nice work of bitters, greediness, a nice definition, purity of fruit, a certain crunchiness in its flesh. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, cherry and, more slightly, red currant, combined with fine touches of blueberry, plum blossom, as well as hints of vanilla, fresh blond tobacco, fine hints of star anise, sap and chocolate. The tannins are creamy and elegant. Nice persistence. Good length.
