The 2003 vintage from Bordeaux's esteemed Pomerol region braced an extraordinary challenge—the scorching European summer that singularly redefined the fruits of the vine. The wines thus crafted carry the enigmatic story of struggle and triumphant adaptation. Foremost among these is the 2003 L'Evangile from Chateau L'Evangile, which navigated the intense climatic conditions with aplomb to yield a creation of profound complexity and deep resonance.In that storied year, the Merlot vines of Chateau L'Evangile faced near-ceaseless exposure to the sun's punishing ardour. Yet it is precisely this relentless solar embrace that translated into a lavish intensity within the grapes, reflected sumptuously in their resultant wine. The 2003 L'Evangile exudes a certain opulence in its profile—plum and blackberry fruits swathed lavishly in profound tannins and nuanced by notes of truffle and smoky earth, a paean to the terroir's unique ability to thrive under duress.
Plenty of plum and spice with hints of licorice. Medium- to full-bodied, with silky tannins and a fresh finish. Slightly hollow center palate, but should fill in nicely.
