Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 La Conseillante sashays out of the glass with the most gorgeous notes of lilacs, Black Forest cake, kirsch and black raspberries plus nuances of cinnamon stick, dark chocolate and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a firm, finely grained texture with bags of perfumed black fruits and wonderful freshness, finishing very long and very fragrant.

A young red with sweet fruit and very fine tannins, which have a creamy and almost salty sensation. Medium to full body. Blackberries, dark chocolate and bark. Some black tea, too. It shows an energy and tension. The creamy tannins give polish and beauty. Better after 2023.

A lighter vintage overall, with delicacy and finely-spun tannins. The fruit is sculpted raspberry and red cherry, clearly will be ready to drink before the 2015 and 2016, lots to enjoy with delicate tomato leaf, grilled oak, chocolate shavings and liquorice root. Not too much frost here at La Conseillante, just one small plot at the bottom of the vineyard, so yields were 34hl/ha. 70% new oak.

85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc.
Very dark with a black core. Sweetly scented with black cherry and also a more savoury pencil-shavings cedary quality. Dry and compact tannins but with enough fruit at the core to hold the tannins apart in your mouth. Very firm grip. Needs a lot of time. Very chewy.
