Tasting Notes
| Robert Parker 96 | |
| "..one of the great modern day l'Evangiles..the wine is exceptionally rich and full bodied, with admirable glycerin and thickness. The finish is full of sweet fruit, with wine's extact concealing moderate tannin. The 1990 is a fabulously pure rich l'Evangile to drink between the turn of the century and 2020." | |
| Wine Spectator 95 | |
| Big and ripe. Dark ruby-garnet color. Berry, chocolate, plum aromas. Full-bodied, chewy, lots of tannins. Tight, muscular and concentrated. | |

| Tasted at the Dynasty restaurant in Hong Kong. The Château l?Evangile 1990 continues to evolve at a glacial pace. This bottle is less open than the one back in 2008, more austere with a quasi-Pauillac-like bouquet at first: cedar and graphite eventually ebbing away to reveal dried herbs and Italian dried meats. The palate is medium-bodied and more tannic than I recall and unlike other 1990 Right Banks in that it is quite linear and symmetrical, eschewing those hot summer fruits that form the leitmotif of the vintage. As they say?moody bugger! Tasted November 2011. |
