This has evolved beautifully. The nose shows black truffles berries and chocolate character. This is full-bodied with very firm but polished tannins and a long focused finish. Needs three to four years to soften but a pretty balanced wine for the vintage.

The 2011 La Conseillante is impressive and I suspect one of the gems in the vintage. Full-bodied concentrated and layered with lots of spice bouquet garni graphite and assorted darker fruits it has the classic elegance and polish of the estate and while still young is drinking beautifully today. Enjoy bottles over the coming two decades.

The market in many ways passed over the 2011 after the fanfare of 2009 and 2010 but in fact there are plenty of excellent wines from a year that was very dry from April to September with some rains during harvest making the harvest date critical. There are dry tannins that threaten the mid-palate but it opens up extremely prettily to reveal dark fleshy fruits - a classically balanced very enjoyable wine. It has great aromatics after five minutes in the glass linear and stretched out.

Made from 82% Merlot and 18% Cabernet Franc the 2011 La Conseillante is deep garnet in color. It offers up notions of Morello cherries black cherries and beef dripping with underlying blackberry pie tobacco and sauteed herbs hints. Medium-bodied the palate is refreshing and light on its feet with bright red berry and savory layers supported by grainy tannins finishing on a lingering mineral note.

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 M. Parker Jr. Published: Apr 29 2014
