1990 Château L'Evangile Pomerol Bordeaux France Wine Tasting Note

Clearly, this has blossomed into a beautiful, sensuous Pomerol. Packed with truffles, dark cocoa, black cherries, plums, herbs, and a hint of tobacco, the wine is elegant, silky, long, and sexy, with a chocolate-covered, cherry finish that hits all the high notes. No decanting needed. Drink from 2024-2035.

Mature, full bodied and richly textured, the concentrated wine delivers a blend of truffle, plum, black cherry and dark chocolate. Lush, opulent and with staying power, this is probably close to fully mature.

Mature, and serving up a liberal dose of sweet plum, truffle and cocoa, the tannins show their soft, silky side, finishing with elegant cherries in the end note. This is at full maturity, if you have a bottle, there is no need to wait to pop a cork.

Mature, with the patina of aged silk in its texture, a nose of floral, truffle, plums and cherries and soft,fresh, clean, but not quite exciting, slightly dusty finish. The wine was very good, but it seems to lack the level of excitement expected from a 1990 Pomerol. I'm happy to drink what I have, but I would not buy more to replace them when they are gone.

A finesse styled charmer, which is probably slightly better with its ostentatious nose, than on its silky, soft, spicy, medium/full bodied, elegant, silky palate.

The initially closed nose opened after much coaxing to notes of herbs, cherries, strawberries and hints of black fruits. On the palate the wine is pleasant, but it lacks the richness and excitement from previous bottles. I am not clear this bottle was correct. I'm going to open one of mine to compare in the near future as this bottle seemed to have matured far too rapidly.

This deep colored, sultry wine is very concentrated. Dense, thick, rich almost chewy plumy fruit in every taste. Still youung with tannin to resolve, this wine will continue to get better with more age.

The earthy, mushroom, plumy fruits are made more complex with dashes of coffee. Very rich and opulent with a sexy mouth feel. However, this bottle was slightly more advanced than other bottles. Still, this was a treat

Decadent black fruit, coffee and sweet roasted plums filled the air. Extremely refined and elegance, but loaded with powerful layers of perfectly ripe fruit. Great balance.
