Aromas of tar, black olive skin and blackberries follow through to a full body. Ultra-fine tannins and a long, linear finish with super intensity. Well-crafted in every sense. A fabulous Pomerol for the future. Try in 2022.

This is bottled decadence. The fruit is pure silk and velvet with its layers of polished, ripe, pure berries. The wine has a great future ahead. Give it until the wine hits its 10th birthday before popping a...

Reminding me of the 2009, the 2015 La Conseillante is more overt and sexy compared to the 2016, offering a huge nose of mulled black fruits, spring flowers, chocolate and gravely/clay-like earthiness. This is a...

The 2015 La Conseillante is entertaining the idea of drinkability, though I would personally cellar mine for another couple of years. It is gorgeous on the nose and offers precocious truffle-infused black fruit, maybe a...

Wine Enthusiast, April 2018

This is a perfumed wine, rich in tannins and with a good balance between the Merlot and Cabernet Franc in the blend. Ripe black fruits and velvet tannins give the wine elegance and charm. It is juicy and ripe, with a...

Wine Spectator, March 2018

This is reserved, with subtle Earl Grey tea, singed apple wood and warm fruitcake aromas opening slowly ahead of a core of dark boysenberry, raspberry and blackberry compote flavors. A lovely swath of velvety tannins...

Decanter, November 2020

As with other 2015s there are slight traces of heat, but again there is a ton of textured exuberance and pleasure to be had. Clear rosemary spice alongside smoked caramel brittle, raspberry, damson and redcurrant jelly...

Powerfully ripe and rich berry fruits, loganberry and blueberry with crème caramel and burnished oak smoke. Unquestionably great quality, marked by the solar exuberance of the vintage. 75% new oak, 3.65ph. First year with...
