Aromas of Tobacco and Cedar, a little manure and unfortunately a tiny amount of wet cardboard/cork taint. The 2004 was 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc so I presume this 2003 - a very warm year - was similar. Medium weight - more savoury than fruit driven at this age. Jancis Robinson had a tasting of 2003 Bordeaux a while ago and with a few exceptions said Drink Up. L’Evangile has 34 acres and is a neighbour of Cheval Blanc. Footnote: I notice the blend from Vinous was 79/21 Merlot/Cabernet Franc for 2003.

Mid Ruby, tawny garnet rim. Sweet perfume with notes of cedar, plum, tobacco and leather. On the palate medium weight, restrained and balanced particularly considering the hot vintage. Finishes with light powdery yet persistent tannins. A class act all round.
