Note di degustazione
A beautiful cool pure blue fruit nose. The fruitis very fresh but it has been pushed right to the limit of positive extraction. This has elegance and purity.

Based on 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc that was raised in 100% new barrels, the 2010 Château La Conseillante is still youthfully purple-hued and offers ripe black fruits, truffle, smoke, and damp earth-driven aromatics. It's a rich, full-bodied, powerful beauty that stays flawlessly balanced and elegant on the palate, which is the hallmark of this château. With air, the classic violet and floral character of this terroir comes out, and while it shows the more precise, focused style of the vintage, it offers incredible pleasure. It has another 20-30 years of longevity. Drink 2025-2050.
This is excellent quality, rich deep plum flavours, spicy, intense, full of character, incense, grilled plum and rosemary, highly charged yet with supple tannins and an edge of sweet red liquorice and creamy caramel. Tasted ex-retail not ex-château.
The 2010 La Conseillante has been spellbinding since I first tasted it from barrel. It has an intense nose with black plum, cedar and graphite. It is vibrant and compelling with scents of camphor intertwined. Wonderful delineation; there are layers of aromatic complexity. The palate is beautifully knit with a touch of black pepper and thyme filtering through the black fruit. It retains so much energy on the finish as it fans out with class and verve. Magnificent. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the Icons of Bordeaux dinner at Legacy Records in New York.
