1990 was the handover vintage at l'Evangile: the Ducasse family had held the property since the 1860s, and that year the Rothschilds of Lafite bought a controlling stake and began decades of investment in vineyard and cellar. It is a good vintage to catch the estate in, too. A torrid summer with well-timed September rain gave Pomerol some of its most opulent, velvety wines of the modern era. L'Evangile sits in southeastern Pomerol, 22 hectares of clay, gravel and iron-rich sand, next door to La Conseillante, a short walk from Petrus, and separated from Cheval Blanc by little more than a dirt track, which is why the wine has always tasted like a bridge between the two. The blend is Merlot-led with Cabernet Franc, aged in French oak. At thirty-six years this is fully mature and in the sweet spot for tertiary Pomerol; drink it over the next few years, decanted gently off its sediment.

Full but silky. Plum, black cherry and fig with truffle, forest floor, tobacco and a touch of iron. Tannins fully resolved, moderate acidity, long velvety finish.
