The 2011 Blason de l'Evangile is the second wine of the esteemed Château L'Evangile, a top Grand Cru of Pomerol. This vintage in Bordeaux was characterized by a dry growing season, requiring extra vineyard management like green harvesting due to early flowering. Despite this, the small, concentrated berries led to low yields but highly concentrated fruit. 【Can be enjoyed in its youth】 Tasting notes describe a dense, intense colour with hints of violet. The nose is powerful, lingering, expressive, and very ripe, with concentrated notes of Morello cherries and blackcurrants. The attack is dense and concentrated with very ripe, powerful tannins, leading to a mature, rich, and smooth palate with a silky finish. Other descriptions include lots of wood and plum character, a full to medium body with velvety tannins, and a medium-fruity finish. It's delightfully perfumed, smooth with ripe Merlot flavors, full and dense, offering red and black fruits, light tannin, and a fresh, vibrant mouthfeel. A voluptuous, sensual bouquet of pure vanillary red berry fruit, a medium-bodied palate with a nubile texture, supple toasty red fruit, crisp acidity, and a fine cocoa-tinged off-dry finish have also been noted. This wine can be enjoyed in its youth, with an anticipated maturity between 2015-2025, and is currently drinking well with silky and well-resolved tannins. Food pairing suggestions include beef and venison. The Blason de l'Evangile 2011 is an excellent choice for a refined dinner, a gathering with friends, or as an introduction to the elegance of Pomerol. Its approachable style and good drinking window make it suitable for various celebratory and casual events.
