Wine Advocate  

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? not enormously endowed, as a great vintage would be, but it is certainly an outstanding wine and a brilliant effort from ?vangile in 2012. Drink it over the next 15 years.

Château L'Evangile Tasting Notes  
Low rainfall and a heat wave marked the climatic year. From October 2002 to September 2003 total rainfall was only 555mm (the average annual rainfall is 850 mm). However, this lack of water ultimately had little effect, as the soil remained relatively cool and the vines did not suffer from lack of water. In fact, the vintage owes its particular characteristics to the excessive heat the first fortnight of August. Temperatures were truly exceptional (above 40°C).
