Château L'Evangile 2014 Pomerol (75cl)

Château L'Evangile 2014 is a Pomerol from the right bank of Bordeaux. Pomerol reds are usually Merlot-led, which typically means a rounder, plusher feel than the Cabernet-heavy left bank. Around a decade in bottle usually helps a wine like this settle, though it still has room ahead if kept a few more years. Decant for an hour or so and serve around 16-18°C with roast duck, pork belly or anything braised. Merlot-led Pomerol typically shows plum, dark cherry, cocoa and a truffle or iron note, with silky rather than grippy tannins.
