The Wine Advocate | RP 87
Published: Jan 01, 2003

Aromatics merit a higher score in this dark ruby/garnet wine, which has a big, spicy, herbal, cedary nose with hints of pepper, sweet raspberries, and black cherries. The wine is medium-bodied but slightly austere in the finish, no doubt because the tannins in the 1994 never achieved full phenolic maturity. Nevertheless, there is a lot to like in the wine, and with the right food, this wine will probably drink better than my conservative score suggests. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted, 4/02.
Drink Date 2003 - 2010

La Conseillante is a very aromatic wine with great finesse. Floral notes of peony, aromas of red berry fruit and spices mingle with violets, the inimitable hallmark floral characteristic of this wine.
The palate offers a creamy, silky texture together with wonderful freshness and soft tannins. Possessing great ageing potential, this wine, after ten years, develops aromas of black truffles, characteristic of great Merlot from the Pomerol plateau.
