Price: $195.00
John Gilman - View from the Cellar
The 2006 vintage at La Conseillante is extremely successful and this is a very fine follow-up to the great wine produced here in 2005. The bouquet of the 2006 is pure, elegant and complex, delivering a fine blend of black raspberries, cassis, cigar smoke, a fine base of gravelly soil tones, a touch of tobacco leaf and a discreet framing of cedary oak. On the palate the wine is fullish, pure and impressively transparent, with a fine core of fruit, excellent focus and balance and a very long, ripely tannic and classic finish. Fine juice in the making.

Bright ruby-red. Sexy nose combines dark berries, violet, cedar, mocha, truffle and smoky oak. Plush, succulent and sweet, but with lovely delineation to the pliant black cherry and raspberry flavors. At once opulent and vibrant, finishing with a fine dusting of tannins and compelling sweetness. This has an almost Burgundian texture reminiscent of some of this chateau's great vintages of the past. It's hard to imagine this silky wine shutting down in the bottle.
