CHATEAU L'EVANGILE 2005 |

Château l'Evangile 2005 Pomerol85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 100% new oak. Twelve different soil types really produce something sensational here. Glorious, spicy, just-ground coffee nose. So rich but so subtle too. Creamy-textured, with layers of complexity giving huge length on the palate. Sumptuous class. They have really achieved their aim of combining suppleness and power in this wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 9612 bts (owc)Estimates are per lot
