Critics Ratings

'The quintessential elegant style of Pomerol, the 2011 La Conseillante offers copious aromas of raspberries, mulberries and spring flowers. Medium-bodied with pure fruit, seamlessly integrated tannin, acidity and wood, and a soft, velvety textured finish, this classic effort is ethereal in its elegance and precision. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.' - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Apr 2014)

'Glowing deep garnet. Heady, opulent, seductive. Tannins have receded to leave a silky, flattering, very polished wine.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Oct 2021)
