Note di degustazione
The 1993 La Conseillante is a wine that I have tasted twice. The last note for the Pomerol book attests to a Pomerol now rather long in the tooth, a smoke and truffle–tinged nose that is missing vigour. The palate feels rather austere with that tobacco theme continuing on its obstreperous austere finish. Bottles should be drunk up. Tasted blind and taken from Neal Martin's book, "Pomerol".

Pale ruby. A little dull-looking. Very evolved with a light, toasty, fully evolved nose. Quite dry on the end. A bit simple. Difficult to imagine this really going anywhere. (JR)
One of Bordeaux's most compellingly seductive wines, La Conseillante's early charm can lead tasters to believe that the wine will not age. However, top vintages of La Conseillante can age for two decades, but they are often drunk immediately after bottling because of their expressive aromatics, velvety texture, and delicious fruit. A well-made wine for the vintage, La Conseillante's 1993 displays an attractive dark ruby color, a black-raspberry, sweet vanillin, alluring bouquet, pretty, low acid, fleshy, round flavors that caresse the palate, and finish with plenty of black fruit and glycerin. Already delicious and flattering, this moderately weighted wine should drink well for 7-8 years.
