Product Description
JD97 "The 2000 La Conseillante is brilliant (this was tasted from magnum) and while mature, is still youthful and vibrant. Deep ruby/purple colored and loaded with notions of currants, plums, chocolate, Asian spice, and incense, it offers full-bodied richness, fine tannin, and a silky, elegant, yet concentrated style on the palate. This beauty can be drunk anytime over the coming two decades or more." JD Feb 2018
JS97 "This is showing aromas of graphite, bitter chocolate, paprika and dried herbs. Turns to iodine, iron and chocolate. It’s firm and polished, with compact tannins. Shows focus and tension. Everything in the right place. Still so young." JS Jan 2023
RP96 "La Conseillante made an excellent wine in 2001, another great one in 2005, and the estate hit home runs in both 2008 and, above all, in 2009. In fact, the latter vintage may well end up being the modern-day reference point for La Conseillante. Nevertheless, there’s a lot to be said for this 2000. An elegant, gentle style that is never a blockbuster, the 2000 La Conseillante has a deep ruby/plum/purple color and an unbelievably expressive nose of sweet kirsch liqueur intermixed with raspberries, incense, toast, and licorice. Full-bodied yet ethereal in the sense that it seems to combine power along with eloquence and delicacy, this is a beautifully pure wine that has just hit its plateau of full maturity, although ideally I think it would benefit strongly from another 4-5 years of bottle age and drink well for two to three decades." RP Jun 2010
Robert Parker writes, "From one of the finest terroirs of Pomerol, La Conseillante is surrounded by Cheval Blanc, Petrus, Vieux Chateau Certan, and l'Evangile ... not bad." Published: Feb 27, 2002
