Chateau l´Evangile 1989

93 JAMES SUCKLING: "An old Pomerol with a dusty, cut wood and fig character with some plum and smoke, too. Brown sugar. Light acid. Full body, savory and juicy with a meaty, dried orange and spice. Drink now." 92 THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "With a color that shows its age, the wine is all about its secondary essences. There is an intriguing saline, mineral character in the nose, that accompanies its truffle, tobacco, herb, red berry and earthy side. Medium bodied, silky, sensuous and charming, the fruit is starting its slow fade. There is no reason to age this any longer. This is fully mature. The wine was made from a blend of 76% Merlot and 24% Cabernet Franc. Picking took place from September 6 to September 13. 91% of the harvest was placed into the Grand Vin. The wine reached 13% alcohol with a pH of 3.75"
