The wine continues developing in all the right ways. The floral and truffle nose with its plum, thyme and cherry notes is enticing. The soft, polished tannins and silky red fruits feels as good as it tastes. The wine is close to entering its drinking window. Give it a few more years and enjoy it for about 20 years after that.

Combining the structure and tannins to age for decades with the silky textures the estate is known for, this needs a few more years to age and develop.

Already starting to show well, the sexy, sensous tannins, freshness and vibrancy of the wine is really starting to shine. A few more years will be better, but it's so good now, it's hard not to want to pop cork.

Showing a hint of age at the edge of the glass, truffle smoke and wild cherry is the first thing you notice. The wine is fresh, sweet, sensuous, rich and elegant. There is complexity in the nose and on the palate. If you like young wines that are just now showing secondary flavors, but are not fully developed, this is a nice time to pop a cork. Else you can wait for more evolution. Popped and poured, the wine improved in the glass.

Violets, truffle, creamy chocolate, smoke and dark berries have so much to offer, you find yourself looking for other sensations in the complex perfume. The velvety, sensuous, sexy red fruits are impossible not to like. Your glass is empty before you know it. This was too good to spit. You can drink this with pure pleasure now, or age it for more complexity.

Truffle, smoke, earth, licorice, earth, dark chocolate and black cherry scents get your attention. On the palate, the wine is rich, refined, sweet, soft, lush, plush, smoky and sensuous with a long, silky, fresh, sexy finish. Drink this now, or age it decade for more complexity, this is serious juice.

Still showing a nice, deep ruby hue, a beautiful floral, boysenberry, black raspberry, chocolate, plum, spice and fennel perfume emerges. Suave and sophisticated, with soft, elegant and refined tannins, this silky Pomerol leaves you with a long sensation of fresh, spicy, pure, ripe plums.

Flowers, chocolate, boysenberry and truffles aromas make up the perfume. Elegant and refined in style, silky in texture, this bottle was not as expressive as other bottles I've tasted. On different occasions, from other bottles, the wine has been riiveting. While this usually applies to older wines... You know what they say, "There is no such thing as great wines, just great bottles."

A truly, sexy, lush, hedonstic wine. Perfectly balanced with ripe, velvety tannins, concentration and a long decadent finish is a beautiful Pomerol and a stellar La Conseillante

Beautiful palate textures are the hallmark of the this sublime Pomerol. Plummy, plush and elegant in style.

Deep ruby in color with tints of purple. On the nose, an explosion of toasty sweet oak, vanilla, raspberry, plums, blackberries and spice finishing with a hint of anise. Dense, fat, plump entry on the palate. Tannic. Upon hitting your palate, the best descriptor I can think of is... Boom! Incredible lush waves of ripe, sexy, fresh, polished, Bordeaux Pomerol pure fruit with raspberry accents glide over your tasting receptors leaving you with a satisfied smile on your face. The finish lasts close to 50 seconds!
