Château L'Evangile Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2005
Dark in color, almost purple black, with pure tapenade and hints of ripe plum and berry. Full-bodied, with layer upon layer of velvety tannins and chocolate, berry, vanilla and tea flavors. Lasts for minutes. I am blown away by this wine. This has been amazing since the moment I tasted it from barrel. Reminds me of the superb 1950... Wine Spectator

Young but rich. Quite extracted but lovely. Needs 10 more years to soften and integrate and show its depth, but the core is there! Like belt fruit with a trace of mint. Some earth tones as well. Holds up.

1.5 hour decant(some chunky/fine sediment). A remarkable dark ruby red color. On the nose: beautiful notes of dark plum, cassis, cedar, spice, truffles, creme brulee. Taste: elegant, rich, balanced, great mouthfeel wine with bing cherry, dark chocolate, spice, cedar, and a plumy black tea lingering long finish. YUM! Still a little primary, but starting to show off the terrific 05 vintage. So, if you have a few bottles, pop one.

Needed to pull a cork on a '05 and went with the Pomerol. A good way to ease into the vintage. No worries and should continue to thrive in the bottle but good to go now.
