Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Chocolate, espresso roast, plum, fig, and black currant aromas are followed by a dense, rich, full-bodied Pomerol displaying superb purity, elegance, and noticeable but ripe tannin. There is not an astringent element to be found in this savory, layered, opulent 2006. It is ideal for drinking over..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
The exceptional freshness of the 2010 vintage is more than apparent here with a restrained and cool nose of intensely earthy red and dark berry fruit aromas that also display forest floor and humus notes. There is outstanding concentration to the extract-rich broad-shouldered flavors that display..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Offers beautiful blueberry, raspberry, and cherry notes intermixed with toasty new oak, spring flowers, lovely fruit, and fine length."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This behemoth possesses massive extraction, an opaque purple color, huge density, extreme tannins, and a nearly endless finish. Everything is there, but the highly extracted style and off the chart tannins ensures that no one over the age of forty will ever see this wine hit full maturity...

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Generous wood presently fights somewhat with the otherwise notably ripe aromas of earth, smoke, dark berry fruit and a touch of the sauvage. The impressive concentrated, rich and mouth coating big-bodied flavors possess excellent depth on the dusty, intense and driving finish..."

Cellar/Tasting Notes

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Extremely subtle wood frames more complex and more densely fruited earthy and fresh red pinot, plum and currant aromas that slide gracefully into detailed, intense and big-bodied flavors that possess plenty of dry extract which does its job of buffering the firm tannic spine on the detailed,..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2006 is relatively forward and seductive, as one expects La Conseillante to be, with a dark ruby/purple-tinged color and a beautifully sweet nose of black raspberries, plums, kirsch, cedar, and licorice. A broad, savory, seductive, full-bodied mouthfeel with superb ripeness, silky tannins, and..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
The finest Canon since the 1982, the 2009 (75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc) reveals a dense blue/purple color along with a classic nose of chalk dust, blueberries, black raspberries, black currants and a touch of wood smoke. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and loaded with an inner framework of..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"There is much less wood in evidence on the fresh, spicy, earthy and dense nose of both red and black currant scents ... the tannins are more fine-grained plus there is good verve to the medium weight plus flavors that culminate in a mouth coating, firm, moderately austere and strikingly long..
