The 2010 La Conseillante briefly suggested a little oxidation, however, returning to my glass it feels more stable with detailed black fruit laced with black truffle, humidor and cedar aromas. It meliorates with each passing minute in the glass. The palate is very harmonious and tender, with a touch of viscosity, fanning out wonderfully on the finish. Outstanding. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal. April 2020

Full red-ruby. Rich aromas of plum, raspberry, mocha and chocolate are energized by minerals and peppery spices. A saline, suave, youthfully restrained midweight, with terrific floral cabernet franc lift contributing to the impression of class and focus. Sweetness is leavened by a savory quality and hints of tobacco and underbrush. Tannins are suave but this firmly structured, subtly long Pomerol really needs eight or ten years to express itself fully. Great potential here. Juli 2013

Deep garnet in color, the 2010 La Conseillante opens with notes of warm black plums, baked blackberries and blueberry preserves plus hints of dried rosemary, fragrant earth and cedar. Full-bodied, the palate is firm and chewy with a lively line cutting through the densely packed, savory layers, finishing a little warm and lifted. März 2020

Beautiful nose with cocoa powder, exotic flowers, candied violets and loads of dark berries. Great aromatic complexity. Amazing texture on palate with a superb precision and silky tannins. So beautifully composed showing already great harmony. Difficult to wait! Better in 2018. Februar 2013
