Displaying spectacular aromatics of mulberry, blueberry and raspberry fruit, a dense ruby/purple colour, 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, savoury wine is a graceful, provocative and compelling Pomerol to drink now and over the next 25 years.
