美味しいワインと出会う旅

CP92　酔った勢いで高級ワインだと言う事を忘れて開けてしまいました。いかんですね。

でも美味しかったですよ。まあこんなワインが不味かったら本当に困ったものですが、期待通りの味を何時も出すと言う事も凄い事だと思います。

色は深く濃いガーネット、香はトリュフ、チョコレート、バニラ、赤身肉、甘草、味わいは繊細でボリューム感のある果実味、程良いタンニン、柔らかい酸、強いワインだが飲めてしまう。凝縮感は04なのでこのクラスのワインとしては弱いが、その為若くても飲めるのだと思う。滋味豊かなポムロールの醍醐味が十分楽しめるワインだ。

2004 L'Evangile

Jun 2007 Robert Parker 93 Drink: 2007 - 2022 $80-$146 (78)
A stunning example of the vintage, the 2004 l'Evangile is not far off the pace of their brilliant 2005. A blend of 89% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Franc (3,000+ cases produced), it exhibits a deep ruby/plum color, superb ripeness, and sweet blackberry, truffle, acacia flower, licorice, and toasty oak aromas. This knock-out effort is surprisingly rich, opulent, and fruity with good glycerin, medium to full body, and a stunning finish. It should drink beautifully young yet age for 15 or more years.

Far superior to the 2003, the 2004 exhibits a deep ruby/purple color as well as aromas and flavors of black raspberries, truffles, and incense. Medium-bodied with fine density and ripeness, this elegant, long Pomerol should drink well in 3-4 years, and last for 15 or more.

Apr 2005 Robert Parker (90-93) Drink: 2007 - 2017 $80-$146
A blend of 89% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Franc, this deep ruby/purple-colored 2004 boasts a sexy, up-front bouquet of raspberries, black currants, and sweet smoky notes. Lush, seductive, and ripe, although not terribly deep, it offers delicious fruit in its forward, elegant, finesse-styled personality. Think of it as a lighter version of the brilliant 2000. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2017.
