Château L'Evangile--Vintage 1945
Pomerol
All slightly corroded capsules, one slightly depressed cork. All badly bin-soiled and stained labels, two slightly damaged. Cruse neck labels. Levels two mid/upper and one mid-shoulder. In carton
Vintage Report 1945
Arguably one of the greatest vintages of the 20th Century, and in my opinion eclipsing the 1961. An early harvest yielded magnificent, long-lasting wines of the highest quality. The very small crop size was the result of severe frosts in May, when the vines were literally nipped in the bud. The wines' exceptional ripeness, concentration and power were due to a summer of drought and excessive heat. M.B.
