1982 Château La Conseillante Pomerol Bordeaux France Wine Tasting Note

From a magnum, this was a thrill-a-sip wine. Silky, vibrant, earthy, floral, and packed with truffle, cigar wrapper, bitter-dark chocolate, and red plums, every sniff, swirl, and sip were gorgeous. Fully mature, if you are lucky enough to own a bottle, there is no reason to hesitate before opening it. Drink from 2022-2027.

This was the best bottle of this I've had in years. Clearly at maturity, the nose, with its blend of truffles, flowers, smoke, plums, cherry and bitter chocolate was enthralling. Medium-full bodied, with an elegant, refined character, silky, soft tanins and fresh, sweet plums with a touch of cocoa felt great and tasted even better. Pop and pour was all this beauty needed to show its best. There is no reason to continue aging for more development, as this is at the full peak of its evolution.

Slowly starting to fade from its decadent peak, there is still a lot to like here. Soft and silky, fresh and refined, the earthy, mocha and plum finish does not have quite the same level of volume or length it offered in its youth. If you are holding any bottles, and I think I have a few left as well, you should drink them over the next couple of years, before the wine continues its slow ride into the sunset.

My penultimate bottle of this beauty was sacrificed close to the end of 2015. With a beautiful floral nose that was made even better with its truffle, tobacco, black raspberry, mocha and dark cherry aromatics, this was pure silk in texture. Medium bodied, refined and elegant, the finish was all about its freshness, silk and sweet red fruits. There is no reason to hold your bottles any longer.

This plum, floral, black cherry, earthy, spicy scented wine is all about elegance and charm. Plush, round and with velvety textures, the wine ends with a chocolate and plum filled finish with hints of fresh dark cherries. Fully mature, there is no reason to wait to open this wine.

Earthy, truffle aromas complicated with spicy black fruit start off the perfume. Lush, sexy entry. Multiple layers of red and black fruits turn the finish into a delicious, silky, satin filled treat! This wine is fully mature. I plan on drinking my remaining bottles over the 7-10 years.

Cedar wood, spearmint, red and black fruit, earth and spicy plums wowed your nose. Great depth and concentration. When La Conseillante rocks, it offers one of the sexiest mouth feels and this bottle was on fire! This was thick, elegant and plush with rich layers of ripe, black, red and blue fruits.
