Château La Conseillante--Vintage 2000
Pomerol. Château-bottled
Tasting note: A tremendous effort, and certainly the best La Conseillante since the marvelous duo of 1989 and 1990, this deep ruby/plum/purple-coloured wine offers up notes of blackberries and kirsch liqueur intermixed with licorice,incense, spice box and copious amounts of toasty oak. It is a realtively powerful effort for La Conseillante, with more tannin and structure than most vintages possess. As the wine sits in the glass, black raspberries, blueberries, smoke along with floral notes emerge. There is tremendous purity, medium to full body, great precision and concentration. Unlike most vintages of La Conseillante, the 2000 will require patience. A bottle kept open refused to oxidise until day six! Anticipated maturity: 2008-2025. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 146 (April 2003)
