Chateau L'Evangile, Pomerol, France 2019 Nishide Shuzo in spite of the wine’sThe deep, dark, virtually opaque color seems a little developed at the rim. The dark fruit aromas are chocolatey, a touth leathery and very ripe. The palate shows opulent black cherry, chocolate, vanilla & beautifully integrated cedary new oak notes. The wine is full bodied, chocolatey smooth & velvety textured. Fresh acidity keeps the opulent, hedonistic, ripe, dark fruit juicy to the end while warming alcohol enhances sweet spice hints.
