On the palate, flavours of graphite and sweet cherry mingle with dense, fine grained tannins. So juicy and sweet with a touch of cola, iron, ink, earth and truffle following. Unusually, this had been aged in 100% new French oak barriques because of the ripeness and power of the vintage. Yet there is barely a hint of oak in this superbly refined, complex and elegant wine, which seems so sprightly, fresh and vital. The overall effect is one of amplitude without heaviness, not to mention superb balance, complexity and length. Deliciously enjoyable now but this wine will continue to age and improve for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"critic-label\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e97 Vinous Antonio Galloni\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"critic-review\"\u003e97 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: \"The 2005 La Conseillante is a rich, heady Pomerol. Crème de cassis, lavender, chocolate, leather, espresso, licorice and sweet French oak infuse the 2005 with tremendous character. The 2005 is, naturally, a wine of its era. There is quite a bit of extraction and tannin, and yet the wine has aged impeccably. Time in the glass brings out energy and aromatic lift to round things out nicely. The 2005 just got better and better with time, so I suggest giving it a good bit of air. I would prefer to drink it over the next decade or so.\" \u003cstrong\u003e04\/21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-1821gv5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-1j6tmez\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-1kkt86i\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-xiq7hi\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body2 mui-style-e5rxtd\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e97 Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview Date: \u003cstrong\u003e12\/2017\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2005 La Conseillante is powerhouse effort that’s still youthfully ruby\/plum colored and possesses a lively, vibrant style. Deep, concentrated, full-bodied, and incredibly well balanced, it offers a killer bouquet of dark fruits, kirsch, toasty oak, incense, and licorice. While just now at the early stages of maturity, it has another two decades of longevity and is certainly a match for the 2000 and 1990.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-1821gv5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-1j6tmez\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-rttzwj\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"critic-review\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"critic-review\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"critic-label\"\u003e97 Robert Parker\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"critic-review\"\u003e97 Points, Robert M. Parker, Jr., Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: \"Displaying spectacular aromatics of mulberry, blueberry and raspberry fruit, a dense ruby\/purple color, and sweet floral notes, in the mouth the 2005 La Conseillante is not as broad and powerful as Petrus, Trotanoy, Hosanna or Lafleur, but it is gorgeously silky, elegant and stylish. This medium-bodied, savory wine is a graceful, provocative and compelling Pomerol to drink now and over the next 25 years.\" 06\/15\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Terra Firma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47253602271464,"sku":null,"price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/4901\/8807\/files\/download_37b4a3d9-45be-469d-b6b0-a700b37bf5a8.jpg?v=1744944512","url":"https:\/\/shop.claytonwinehouse.com\/products\/05-chateau-la-conseillante","provider":"Clayton Winehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
