Dark-fleshed fruit, mocha, spice, leather and a kiss of new oak race across the palate. Texturally, the 2022 is gorgeous. One of the recent changes here (since the 2021 vintage) has been a reduction of wine that undergoes malolactic in barrel, from 100% down to 60-70%. More than anything, the 2022 impresses with its gorgeous inner sweetness and exceptional balance. In short, the 2022 is a classic \u00c9vangile. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">95 &#8211; 97 Points<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Drinking window : 2032 &#8211; 2062<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Tasted May 2023<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">W I L L I A M K E L L E Y<br \/>\nRobertParker.com<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8221; Given the young average age of this estate&#8217;s vineyards, its well-draining soils and the extreme vintage, I was a little apprehensive; but the technical team evidently took the conditions in their stride, harvesting the east-facing side of the vines (which sees the hottest afternoon sun) four days earlier. The resulting 2022 L&#8217;Evangile is beautiful, offering up aromas of raspberries, vine smoke, black truffles, violets and gravely soil. Medium to full-bodied, supple and velvety, it&#8217;s seamless and polished, with a bright core of fruit and powdery tannins that temper 2022&#8217;s inherent sweetness of fruit to sophisticated effect. At this early stage, it appears that the estate&#8217;s progress with regards to \u00e9levage continues too, as Evangile&#8217;s creamy oak signature is much released, allowing the fruit\u2014and this superb terroir\u2014to take center stage. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">95 &#8211; 97 Points<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Tasted April 2023<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">REQUEST ALLOCATION<br \/>\nPrices are listed In Bond, per case<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8211; En Primeur Release Price &#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">2 0 2 2<br \/>\nB L A S O N D E L &#8216; E V A N G I L E<br \/>\nS E C O N D W I N E O F C H A T E A U L &#8216; E V A N G I L E<br \/>\nPOMEROL<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Merlot 88% | Cabernet Franc 12%<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">B O T T L E S<br \/>\n\u00a3 267 \u00b7 \u20ac 312 \u00b7 US$ 342<br \/>\nper 6 x 75cl packaged in an original wooden case<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">M A G N U M S<br \/>\n\u00a3 273 \u00b7 \u20ac 219 \u00b7 US$ 349<br \/>\nper 3 x 1.5L packaged in an original wooden case<br \/>\nTasting Notes<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A N T O N I O G A L L O N I<br \/>\nVinous.com<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8221; The 2022 Blason de L&#8217;\u00c9vangile is a dense, powerful wine that very much shows the richness and density of the year.

There is so much to like here.
