  Fading, if not close to faded, the wine is definitely close to leaving the building. Very little fruit remains. Perhaps other bottles are better. But the odds of me seeing one are far and few between these days.

  Purchased at an Acker auction over a year ago and drank it on my birthday. Cork came out clean and the wine was an impressive deep, blood red as if it was a wine from the 60s. Impressive nose from the start of sweet summer fruit but with a malt, toffee, coffee and forest undergrowth overlay. Had lots of classic L'Evangile characteristics! On the palate you could still taste the rich and ripe fruit and the tannis were still there. No doubt this wine must have been so tannic as to have been undrinkable for about the first 25 years! Lovely balance and length, with a sappy, old vine and raisin flavour that you only find in well aged wines. A real charmer and a nice way to bring on another year on the planet. Lasted about an hour in the glass before slowly fading away.
