17 Rene Gabriel
97: Fassprobe (18/20): Parfümiertes Cassisbouquet; feinstgliedrig mit einer dezent duftenden Süsse. Geschmeidiger Gaumen, schmelzendes und leicht säuerliches Extrakt, Maulbeeren, langes, süsses Finale. Arrivage (17/20): Offenes, leicht florales Bouquet mit einem Hauch Pfefferschoten und rotem Cassis. Im Gaumen Flieder und Veilchen, die ihm eine fruchtige Beaujolais-Affinität geben, tendenziell etwas leicht, feinsandige, leicht aufrauhende Textur. 00: Dichtes Purpur, aber stark aufhellend am Rand. Schlankes, sanft kompottartiges Bouquet mit Zedernnote, Zwetschgen und Edelhölzern. Im Gaumen weich, samtige Textur, gut ausgeglichen, mangelt vielleicht etwas an Konzentration, rote Grütze und Waldhimbeeren im Finale. vorbei
88 Robert Parker
La Conseillante, a quintessentially elegant, plump, fruit-driven wine (it can even have a Burgundian character in vintages such as 1989 and 1990), has turned out an open-knit, seductive wine in the generally tough-textured, tannic year of 1996. The color is a deep ruby. The wine possesses medium body, and a sweet, open-knit nose of black raspberries intermixed with pain grille, licorice, and smoke. Soft, round, and charming, this terroir's raspberry fruit is well-displayed. This 1996 can be drunk, but should keep nicely for 12-15 years. Anticipated maturity: now-2014.

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.
