Just what you expect from top-class Pomerol. Complex fruit, mint and leather aromas are followed by rich, smooth, almost chocolaty flavors and soft tannins. Chewy and long-lasting on the finish. Drink now through 1998. ?

Ich notierte 1992: Man sollte die grossen 86er eigentlich in Ruhe lassen. Sie mögen es alle nicht, degustiert oder gar getrunken zu werden: Gekochte Nase, Paprikapulver, im Moment eher unausgeglichen. Im Gaumen Tabak, trockenes Tannin, mittlerer Körper, dafür langes Finish. 96: Für einen 86er extrem hell und bereits starke Reifeanzeichen in der Farbe. Gemüsige Nase (Peperoni), Geraniol- und Trotanoy-Polyesterspuren. Leicht gehaltener Gaumen mit blechiger Zungenstruktur. Jetzt in der ersten Reife doch noch etwas mehr Harmonie zeigend, für einen "grossen" Pomerol jedoch sehr enttäuschend. vorbei

This wine has matured rapidly. The wine reveals considerable orange and rust at the edge of its medium dark garnet color. The fragrant nose of tobacco, roasted herbs, berry fruit, and vanillin aromas is followed by a medium-bodied, silky-textured wine with generous, round, smoky, berry flavors, and light tannin in the finish. Anticipated maturity: Now-2005. Last tasted 5/97
Producer
Château La Conseillante
Located on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, Château La Conseillante is one of the most emblematic properties in Pomerol. With its roots tracing back to the 1700s, La Conseillante has been under the ownership of the Nicolas family for just about 150 years, and has uniquely remained unchanged ever since. Situated on the appellation’s boundary with Saint- Émilion, bordering those of L’Évangile and Cheval Blanc, the original 18 plots of vineyards stretch across 12-hectares in eastern Pomerol. Today, fifth generation Bertrand and Jean-Valmy as the joint managing directors, carry on to pursue higher levels of excellence. In 2007, they released the estate’s second wine, Duo de Conseillante. And by 2012 they renovated their winemaking facilities to allow for separate vinification of each vineyard holding. The Grand Vin, La Conseillante is a firmly structured Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend that is equally complex and rich of dark fruits and oriental spices. One of Pomerol’s greatest names, Château La Conseillante consistently produces five-star wines with a great sense of ancestral tradition.
