As of 2025, Château La Conseillante Pomerol 1999 has likely matured beautifully. The wine's earlier complexities, like sweet black raspberry and cherry liqueur notes, along with hints of cedar, licorice, and saddle leather, should have integrated into a more harmonious and evolved profile. The medium-bodied structure and silky texture would have softened, revealing its signature finesse and elegance. Its floral elements, like violet and peony, along with the development of black truffle aromas, would now be more pronounced, offering a delightful balance of freshness and depth. It's still in a great drinking window, showcasing the smoothness and richness that makes it highly sought after.

The dark ruby-colored 1999 is a beautifully complex, evolved, seductive style of La Conseillante. The wine exhibits sweet black raspberry and cherry liqueur notes intermixed with cedar, toasty oak, licorice, new saddle leather, and dried herbs. It is medium-bodied with no hard edges, extremely pure, and almost sweet (from ripe fruit, not sugar). This is a lush, delicious La Conseillante that merits its reputation as "a Burgundy from Bordeaux." Anticipated maturity: now-2012.
