expressive character

the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is a blockbuster thats up with the top two to three wines of the vintage

(from a superbly situated 1 ha parcel high on the hill)

the wine is polished

It is at the beginning of a long drinking window

Evangile Vintage:2014 expressive characterBright, deep purple ruby. Brooding nose offers rich blackcurrant and black cherry scents complicated by sexy oak, violet and minerals. At once pure, dense and silky, offering complex, fresh flavors of dark plum, spicy blackcurrant, vanilla, coffee and liquid minerals. Finishes sweet and extremely long, with seamless ripe tannins. Typically graceful and precise L'Evangile with sneaky power. Ian D'Agata
