Harvested, vinified and aged separately, they provide the precious raw material that will be skilfully brought together in the final blend, when the true nature of each individual terroir and the precision work performed in each task come beautifully into focus. The Merlot subtly mingles with a small but precious amount of Cabernet Franc to offer inimitable aromatic expression in a wine of great suaveness, elegance, boldness and finesse. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"pipProdProReviews\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"pipProdProReviews_headline\"\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"pipProdProReviews_list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"pipProdProReviews_item\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e100 - Robert\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\"\u003e Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust as it was from cask, the 2023 La Conseillante is one of the vintage's most exciting wines in bottle. Offering up lavish aromas of ripe blackberries and mulberries mingled with hints of violets and mint, it's medium- to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, with an ample core of fruit, beautifully refined tannins and a long, perfumed finish. Readers who own both the deeper-pitched, elegantly muscular 2022 and the utterly charming, hedonistic 2023 will enjoy comparing and contrasting the two over the decades to come. The 2023 is a blend of 88% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc, some 30% of which is maturing in amphorae. Harvest began on September 7, lasting until October 2, block by block.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"pipProdProReviews_item\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100 - Decanter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\"\u003eA clear stand out in 2023. Dark chocolate, bitter toast, blackcurrant, deep, dark and rich tones on the nose. This has both a vibrancy and a richness, a sense of Pomerol opulence, and a coolness on the nose. Supple and energetic, this has movement and weight, juicy with a touch of creaminess. Smooth and sophisticated but still with a hit of acidity on the back palate that lifts and raises the expression the whole way through. Great stuff, sleek, mineral - very saline with licks of wet stone, graphite and liquorice giving slightly bitter edges, but I love the construction. Serious but also fun. Sleek, not rich and fleshy at all, but there’s a thick silkiness to it, nothing harsh, nothing austere or too tart. Really excellent, sweet strawberry, crunchy cranberry and powdery strawberry - lots of brightness and powderiness so you get texture and tension. Another stellar wine from La Conseillante. Buzzy and tangy, maintaining flavour and focus also with great drinkability on offer. A vintage to age. 7.5% press wine.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"pipProdProReviews_list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"pipProdProReviews_item\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e98 - James \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\"\u003e Suckling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\"\u003eExtremely perfumed, with aromas of violets, sandalwood, licorice dark roses and a black cherry undertone. Medium-bodied with ultra-fine tannins that deliver superb length and balance. Wonderfully vivid texture and palate with electric length. Seamless, captivating and rather ethereal. Tangy. Reminds me of the gorgeous 1990. 88% merlot and 12% cabernet franc.
