Notes

La Conseillante played a masterstroke this year by holding a vertical tasting going back to 1985, whereby they cleverly focused the attention of all professional tasters onto the 2005. As if they needed it! Their ’05 is a stunner, with all the character and finesse of the best wines of the vintage. A beautifully perfumed but powerful nose showing violets and cherry fruit; intense blackberry and bramble come through on the palate, amidst complex flavours of dried fruit and mixed peel, chocolate sponge and lifting, fresh acidity.

Notes

Effortlessly classic, with melted tannins at 16 years old. Soft leather, tobacco and white truffle, brambled raspberry fruits, with soft red cherry and blackberry. Smooth and integrated but still with a mint freshness on the finish. Effortless elegance and balance. Around 500 bottles left at the estate of this. This was Jean-Michel Laporte’s second vintage, having arrived in 2004. 100% new oak, 3.82ph.
