Tobacco, woodland earth and a whisper of smoky spice lend a savoury depth to the generous fruit. There is something wonderfully inviting about its combination of fragrance and richness, with each swirl revealing another detail.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe palate is rounded and beautifully textured, carrying concentrated fruit across a framework of fine, velvety tannins. Freshness runs through the richness, keeping the wine composed as plum, cocoa and earthy mineral notes extend into a long, satisfying finish. With more than a decade of bottle age, this is a compelling opportunity to enjoy the depth and refinement of fine Pomerol, while well-stored bottles retain the structure for further development into the early 2030s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor when: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn intimate dinner deserves the bottle you have been saving for something special.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeef Wellington, roast duck with wild mushrooms, herb-crusted rack of lamb, venison loin with a red wine jus, truffled mushroom pithivier or slow-braised beef cheeks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eL’Évangile occupies a remarkable position on the south-eastern Pomerol plateau, with Pétrus to the north and Cheval Blanc just across the road to the south.
