Note di degustazione
A spectacularly balanced wine, which despite the power of the vintage retains a vibrant acidity and herbal freshness among notes of smoke and strawberries.

Tasted blind. Florally fragrant. There is some fruit but it’s a little drying on the end. Veering towards bitter over-extraction but not as obviously as some of the St-Émilions. (JR)
The 2015 La Conseillante has a vibrant, complex bouquet that soars from the glass with wild strawberry, blackberry, briar and black truffle shavings. There is more mineralité here compared to previous bottles encountered. The palate is very well balanced with wonderful poise and tension. It's harmonious and velvety in texture which disguises the backbone underneath. A deft sprinkle of black pepper enhances the finish and completes a marvelous La Conseillante. Tasted at the 2015 Ten-Year-On tasting at Bordeaux Index.
Love the juicy expression of brambled fruit, blackberry and black cherry, freshly cut herbs, cocoa bean, pomegranate, crushed rocks, woodsmoke, creamy but with enough steps on the brakes to keep the exuberance in check. Has further blossomed since I last tasted in 2021. 75% new oak, first year with Marielle Cazeaux as director and winemaker. 39.5hl/h yield.
