Note di degustazione
The 1970 La Conseillante is perhaps not as good as the 1971. The last bottle, opened to celebrate Mrs. Martin's birthday, was rather musty and dry with its core of fruit long since ebbed away. It felt like a Pomerol that is gradually coming apart at the seams although something tells me it might have been quite pleasant in its youth. Drink soon if you have any bottles. Tasted privately at home.

This was a stunning performance for this wine, which I had thought was ever so slightly beginning to decline. In this tasting, the 1970 La Conseillante exhibited the sweet, truffle, caramel, mocha, jammy black-cherry, and toasty nose of this renowned estate, as well as sweet, round, concentrated flavors, and a lush, velvety texture, with a heady, alcoholic, rich finish. This was my last bottle out of what was a glorious case of wine. While I may have drunk the other eleven too soon, every bottle was drained quickly after the cork was pulled. Owners are advised to drink it up. Those who may be fortunate enough to have larger format bottles have another 10+ years to enjoy this stunningly proportioned La Conseillante.
