Tasted twice, both times the wine showed very well. The tannins of La Conseillante this year are plush, full, very dense and ripe. This layered wine with 82% Merlot displays plums, blackberries and black Chinese red dates on the palate. It has a very long finish and plush tannins. Classic La Conseillante - sophisticated and classy. Jeannie Cho Lee MW, AsianPalate.com
From 82% Merlot and 18% Cabernet Franc, the wine will be aged in 80% new oak. The wine reached 13.4% alcohol. Flowers, truffle, black raspberry, coffee, spice and earthy scents create a complex perfume. Pure silk and velvet with ample freshness, acidity and chalky tannins, this is a classic vintage for La Conseillante.-Jeff Leve, theWineCellarInsider.com
Pretty blueberry and chocolate character. Medium to full body, with fine tannins and a chocolate, spice and almond. Delicate style. 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. James Suckling, jamessuckling.com
