2011 La Conseillante Pomerol

92 pts - Wine Advocate

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. - WA, RP (4/2014)

92 pts - Wine Spectator

Frankly toasted, with a warm ganache coating over the core of steeped plum and raspberry fruit, which lends a slightly showy and muscular feel for now. Alluring spice, incense and black tea notes flitter through the finish, hinting at a suave, alluring element that should develop in the cellar. Best from 2016 through 2025. 3,750 cases made. - WS (3/2014)

91 pts - Vinous

Good bright ruby. Deep, flinty aromas of blackberry, blueberry syrup, dark plum, violet and minerals. Lush, silky and sweet, with insidious vinosity keeping the lush blueberry and dark plum flavors fresh and delineated. Extremely suave wine with very refined tannins that spread out to cover the entire palate. Finishes very pure and very long, with crystalline lingering mineral and violet perfume. La Conseillante is always a sure bet but this topnotch effort in a difficult vintage like 2011 really deserves a round of applause. - IWC (8/2014)
