Somewhat similar to the 1990, but slightly more structured, with more noticeable tannin and a meatier style, this is still a very perfumed, exotic, expansive, sensationally concentrated wine that should age effortlessly for another 10-15 years. In that sense, it might actually outlast the 1990, but what a pair these two wines make. The wine has a dark garnet/ruby color and fabulous aromatics of black raspberries, kirsch, licorice, and copious amounts of toasted new oak. Relatively full-bodied for a La Conseillante, with great purity, sweet tannin, but noticeable structure and muscle, this is a relatively large-scaled La Conseillante that has always been one of the top wines of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: Now-2020. Last tasted, 12/02.

Offers sweet, dried fruits on the nose, with plum jam and Turkish delight candies. Full-bodied, with big velvety tannins and loads of fruit. Chewy and Porty. Has turned so decadent and yummy over the years.—'89/'99 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2009). Drink now. –JS

Château La Conseillante
Situato sulla Sponda Destra di Bordeaux, Château La Conseillante è una delle proprietà più emblematiche di Pomerol. Con le sue origini che risalgono al Settecento, La Conseillante è di proprietà della famiglia Nicolas da quasi 150 anni e da allora è rimasta tale. Situate al confine con la denominazione di Saint-Émilion, vicino a quelle di L’Évangile e Cheval Blanc, i 18 lotti originali del vigneto si estendono su 12 ettari nel Pomerol orientale. Oggi, la quinta generazione, rappresentata da Bertrand e Jean-Valmy nel ruolo di amministratori delegati, continua a perseguire grandi livelli di eccellenza. Nel 2007 hanno presentato il secondo vino della tenuta, Duo de Conseillante e a partire dal 2012 hanno rinnovato le strutture di vinificazione per poter vinificare separatamente ciascuna superficie vitata. Il Grand Vin, La Conseillante, è un assemblaggio ben strutturato di Merlot e Cabernet Franc, complesso e ricco di frutti neri e spezie orientali. Tra i nomi più grandi di Pomerol, Château La Conseillante produce vini eccezionali con un grande senso di tradizione ancestrale.
