...The palate is very well balanced and refined. There is a sense of harmony to this L'Evangile that surpasses both the 1982 and 1990. It glides across the mouth, harmonious and silky smooth with a ferrous finish that begs another sip. This was the finest L'Evangile from this era and it continues to offer immense pleasure.... eRobertParker.com (Neal Martin)

Initially rich saddle leather and earth show through on the nose and palate. Not as complex or elegant as the 1990 but lovely nonetheless. A bit ripe on the palate. Color is a mature brick red. Will fall apart with air and time so don't dally. Palate and nose flatten with air

Really nice wine. Violets, spice, leather. Great stuff. '89 a terrific vintage.

One dimensional flavor profile. It’s smooth with a relatively long finish, but still one dimensional. Lighter on the palate with mild fruit and very light licorice and light on the tannins.

17.5/20 (93/100) Сложный и развитой букет ароматов табака, сушеных ягод и грибов, дёгтя и легким отголоском маринованых овощей. Довольно тельное с высокой кислотностью и зрелыми танинами. Насыщенное во вкусе. Отлично!

The cork disintegrated and the wine had turned. Not a great night for Crush Wine and Spirits in NYC.

Excellent Pomerol. Dark fruit mild tannin some acid left. Improved over a couple of hours in the glass. Doesn't feel like it could cellar much longer but showing really well right now.
