PRINTTESTING
The competition between the 2009, 2005 and 2000 La Conseillante will be interesting
to follow over the next twenty years. There was more of a selection process
at this estate in 2009 than there was in 2000, resulting in a beautiful Pomerol
offering notes of mulberries, sweet cherries, spring flowers, raspberries and truffles.
The color is a healthy deep plum/ruby/purple and the wine is medium to full
- bodied with silky tannins, a broad, layered mouthfeel and wonderful freshness
as well as length. This gorgeous, complex, Burgundian - styled Pomerol will be
drinkable in 4 - 6 years and should keep for 30 - 40. /RP /Feb 2012
