Critics Ratings
‘Blackish purple. Appealingly smooth and fresh wthout being the most original wine in this afternoon's collection of right bank wines. Lots of pleasure. This is the sort of wine I expect Clinet to produce – super smooth and flattering, 2013-2025’ - Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, 17/20 (Jan 2010)
‘The sexy, dark ruby/purple-tinged 2006 l’Evangile achieved 14% natural alcohol, as high as any of the great vintages at this estate. Abundant amounts of dark raspberry and black cherry fruit intertwined with sweet plums and hints of figs as well as spring flowers jump from the glass of this medium to full-bodied, fleshy, supple-textured, silky wine. Drink it now or cellar it for 15-20 years.’ - Robert M. Parker, Jr., Wine Advocate, 93/100 (Feb 2009)
‘Bright ruby-red. Reduced, wild nose offers black raspberry, graphite, tobacco and dried flowers. Sweet, dense and deep, with a lush texture for the year and a chocolatey ripeness to the flavors of leather, game and cedar. For such a pliant, sexy Pomerol, this has lovely verve and backbone.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 92/100 (May 2009)
