L'Evangile - 2000 (750ml) crank with its enormous tannin andWhile not up to the quality level of the stratospheric 2000, the deep ruby purple colored 2001 l'Evangile is a beauty. Revealing notes of beef blood, black fruits, and white flowers, it is medium bodied and lush with sweet tannin, a pliant, opulent texture, and a long, rich finish revealing hints of forest floor, truffles, and licorice. Anticipated maturity: 2006 2017. Robert Parker 91 points
