Almost Left Bank in style, the nose is well defined and vigorous considering its age, offering cedar and hints of seaweed and undergrowth. The palate is very well defined and, in keeping with the style of the ‘66s, rather correct and conservative: it shows vestiges of black fruit, tobacco and morels. I appreciated the fine-boned tannins. An elegant and tender L’Evangile with commendable persistence on the finish. Bottles with fine provenance should continue to give pleasure, more so than vintages from the seventies that tend to be drying out.
