What a treat it is to drink the 1961 L'Evangile from magnum. Rich, intense and almost viscous on the palate, the 1961 is stunning from the very first taste. Mocha, soy, chocolate and dark spices saturated the palate in a deep, massively endowed wine. It is hard to contemplate that the 1961 is now 53 years old. On this night, the 1961 is pure magic. Even after all of these years, the 1961 boasts remarkable intensity and extract. What a thrilling wine this is. (10/2014)

Full, deep red with an amber rim. Exotic, roasted aromas of red berry liqueur, mocha, truffle, underbrush and mint. Wonderfully sweet, opulent and decadent, with a level of extract rarely found in today Bordeaux. But a powerful backbone keeps this 41-year-old wine amazingly firm. Finishes with roasted ripeness and great persistence. (7/2002)
