The 2015 La Conseillante is entertaining the idea of drinkability, though I would personally cellar mine for another couple of years. It is gorgeous on the nose and offers precocious truffle-infused black fruit, maybe a little glossy in style. The palate has a cashmere texture, pliant tannins, tremendous weight and depth without the mineralité that renders the 2016 or 2020 more exciting long-term propositions. Nevertheless, this is a wonderful Pomerol with a long future head. (Neal Martin, Vinous, December 2023)

Too jammy and, dare I say it, Parkerized for what I have seen in older and more recent La Conseillante. It was Marielle Cazaux’s first vintage and she probably took too much advice from Michel Rolland.
