Parker Review:	The dark purple-colored 1999 L'Evangile is a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. It reveals an unexpected touch of herbaceousness, which cost it a point or two in the ultimate rating. Nevertheless, the striking, evolved, hedonistic perfume of melted licorice intermixed with black raspberries, minerals, and truffles is an intellectual turn-on. This is a beautiful, medium to full-bodied L'Evangile with a sweet attack and mid-palate. It may merit a higher score, depending on its evolution. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2015.
Steve Tanzer Score:	89
Steve Tanzer Review:	Saturated ruby. Superripe aromas of black raspberry, cassis, maple syrup and tarry, smoky oak. Sweet, velvety and quite dense in the mouth, with just enough acidity for balance. With a hint of youthful austerity, this is not at all confectionary. Finishes with very fine tannins. (89-92pts)
Wine Spectator Score:	90
Wine Spectator Review:	Rich and lovely wine for the vintage. Aromas of berries, herbs and tobacco. Medium- to full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a medium finish. Soft and delicious. Best after 2004.
