Château La Conseillante: Tasting & Drinking
The grand vin of Château La Conseillante, when tasted, has done little other than impress this particular palate. One of my earliest experiences was with the 1982 vintage, which is rarely a bad place to start. It was a delicious wine, and yet a number of more recent vintages match it for style and impact. My earliest tasting of the 2005 vintage, which was at two years of age, showed it had all the substance and balance required to make it a truly great wine, although curiously a couple of years later it showed less well, although I have come to realise that at an assessment at four years of age always throws up a few wines where the structure seems to have been lost, only for the wine to come good with time.
