Tasting notes
Without a doubt one of the finest vintages on record, with Chateau l’Evangile 1982 now showcasing beautiful tertiary notes. An elegant nose with notes of black olives and bay leaves accompanied by a subtle smell of smoke. A very nice sweetness in the mouth with a surprising freshness for the age of this wine. A beautiful balance bringing a lot of delicacy.
