2000 Chateau L'Evangile. Pomerol, Bordeaux, France. 13.5% alcohol. $275.
This wine has lost much of the stunning aromatics it displayed when I first tasted it in the summer of 2003. In order to make up for the loss the wine has put on significant weight and now presents much thicker with deeply concentrated and viscous fruit. Give it a decade more in the cellar and then prepare to be amazed. 98 points.
