James Suckling: 97-98 100 Punkte »This is a forceful red showing blueberry and blackberry
character with violets and light wet earth. Clarity and beauty with so much transparency and
focus. Full-bodied firm and silky with lots of white-pepper and salt undertones.« Decanter: 97
100 Punkte »This is extremely good quality with a lovely persistency luscious and luxurious
with richly textured tannins that place you perfectly in the heart of Pomerol. It’s inky and
concentrated with clear liquorice from the start and an abundance of flowers and fruit violets
and iris followed by black chocolate alongside subtleties of woodsmoke and coffee that curl out
of the glass after a few minutes. It has bouncy tannins with a 95IPT but they're so hugely
silky that you can be pretty sure this is going to age every bit as well as the 2016. They
continued with all biodynamic and organic farming here except for one treatment during
flowering against mildew which meant they had to stop the certification process. 3% will be
aged in amphoras the rest in barrel. Michel Rolland consults. A yield of 32hl ha. 3.65pH.
Drinking Window 2028 - 2044« Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 96-98+ 100 Punkte »The 2018 La
Conseillante is a blend of 83% Merlot and 17% Cabernet Franc with a 3.65 pH and 14% alcohol.
Yields were 32 hectoliters per hectare Merlot was harvested September 19 to October 1 and
Cabernet Franc was harvested on October 4. Very deep purple-black colored it comes charging
out of the gate with energetic notes of wild blueberries chocolate-covered cherries and warm
black plums plus hints of lilacs damp soil cardamom and cloves with gentle wafts of cast iron
pan and fragrant earth. Medium to full-bodied it fills the mouth with elegant black fruit and
earthy layers framed by soft velvety tannins and just enough freshness finishing long and
mineral laced.« Falstaff: 95 100 Punkte »Tiefdunkles Rubingranat violette Reflexe zarte
Randaufhellung. Zart ätherisch unterlegte frische Waldbeeraromen feine Holzwürze Nuancen von
Kirschen und dunkler Schokolade kandierte Orangenzesten. Saftig und elegant am Gaumen seidige
Tannine mineralische Komponenten reife Fruchtsüße im Nachhall bleibt haften ein
vielversprechender Speisenbegleiter.« Wine Enthusiast: 94-96 100 Punkte »Barrel Sample. Partial
aging in amphorae and a mix of barrels gives this rich wine structure but with a light touch.
Its acidity and freshness come from attractive berry flavors that offer lift and a crisp
crunchy finish.« Vinum: 18 20 Punkte »Gepflegte Präsentation grosse Blumigkeit Frische und
Eleganz Tannin mit Schliff von perfekter Harmonie und Länge tadellos gekeltert. 2028 bis
2040« Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.
