2012 L'Evangile, Pomerol

This dark ruby/plum Pomerol offers up sweet black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, velvety tannin, medium to full body, and a nice lushness and silkiness. A beauty with great fragrance and suppleness, it‰۪s not enormously endowed, as a great vintage would be, but it is certainly an outstanding wine and a brilliant effort from ‰۪Evangile in 2012. Drink it over the next 15 years. (RP)
