justerini & brooks tasting note

Another great example of how to make generous quantities of great wine (see Lafite), the 2007 La Conseillante was cropped at 45hl/ha and is bursting with ripe fruit! A nose of pure loganberry, gravel and salty minerals, with a powerful brooding character; complex blueberry and blackberry fruit on the palate, sumptuous and truly mouth filling, this is tense, fresh and balanced with lingering ripeness, a firm refined finish and loads of personality. Excellent.

critic reviews

91/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2007 La Conseillante has a more herbaceous bouquet than the 2006. This was born with less fruit intensity although there remain attractive notes of sous-bois, tobacco and just a hint of liquorish. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm, grippy tannin. This is one of the most ferrous La Conseillante Grand Vins, well balanced if just a little brutish towards the finish, tinctures of clove and dried blood lingering on the aftertaste. It seems ready to be drunk now and should continue to give pleasure over the next 6 to 8 years as it seems to have matured a little faster than I anticipated. Tasted at La Conseillante vertical at the property.
