1990 Château L'Evangile
Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 1, 2024 - Beautiful, mid-weight wine firmly ensconced in its peak drinking window. The aromatics stole the show with vestiges of red and blue fruit, sous-bois, Ceylon tea, iodine, tobacco and cedar. Lovely balance. This flowed seamlessly across the palate with well-judged acidity providing energy to a long cedar-infused finish. An hour of air and this bottle showed at its best.
