Tasting notes
Beginning to decline, the 1971 L'Evangile is displaying an increasingly brown color and its bouquet has begun to suggest decaying vegetation. The wine is also a trifle unstable on the palate. Medium ruby/brown with a spicy, minty, somewhat burnt aroma and short, medicinal flavors. Anticipated maturity: Now-probably in serious decline. Last tasted, 3/80.
