Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 May 18
The 2004 La Conseillante took a little time to settle in the glass but eventually reveals pretty red brambly fruit mixed with wild hedgerow, broom and graphite. With aeration it musters more and more precision, so decanting is advisable for this vintage. The palate is showing very well. It has a surprising structure and plenty fruit, suggesting this is one of the longer-term La Conseillantes. It is fresh and tensile from the start thanks to a razor-sharp thread of acidity whilst there is a newfound sense of precision felt on the finish. This is a great La Conseillante – perhaps one of the most underrated of this decade. Tasted at La Conseillante vertical at the property.
