Deep ruby. Vibrant, high-pitched aromas of dark berries, iron, leather and fresh blood. Very firm and lively on the attack; dense but bright, with wild flavors of dark berries, minerals and game. Not quite as silky as the 2000 but sharply delineated and very long on the aftertaste, which hints at maple syrup and dark chocolate. Firm tannins coat the teeth.

A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc aged in 45% new oak, this terrific l'Evangile is stuffed with concentrated blackberry and raspberry fruit. There is also an acacia-like floral character that gives the wine even more complexity. Notes of toffee, licorice, and truffles add to the aromatic fireworks. The wine is full-bodied, with superb purity as well as moderate tannin in the finish.

Captivating aromas of wild raspberry, cherry, mineral and grilled meat mark this full-bodied wine, along with huge,silky tannins and an extra-long, caressing finish. Envelops the palate like a perfectly tailored silk shirt. Incredible class, with everything in wonderful proportions. The greatest L'Evangile ever made. 3,000 cases made.
