Score 96/100 · Drink 2025-2042, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux, Sep 2024

Smoky, grilled black cherry, enticing and confident, with ripened blackberry and raspberry fruits, pomegranate, cherry pit, white peach, sage and fennel, wrapped up in waves of smoked earth and cocoa bean. An exuberant vintage of L'Evangile, deceptively open, but will continue to age.

Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2018-2029, Jancis Robinson MW, Oct 2023

Much skinnier and greener than Vieux Château Certan 2009 tasted alongside. Another charred note. Very sweet but rather lacking refinement and finesse. (JR)

The 2009 L'Évangile was found oxidized and not reviewed. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 2009 Bordeaux tasting.
