Chateau La Conseillante 1999

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (89)

The dark ruby-colored 1999 is a beautifully complex, evolved, seductive style of La Conseillante. The wine exhibits sweet black raspberry and cherry liqueur notes intermixed with cedar, toasty oak, licorice, new saddle leather, and dried herbs. It is medium-bodied with no hard edges, extremely pure, and almost sweet (from ripe fruit, not sugar). This is a lush, delicious La Conseillante that merits its reputation as "a Burgundy from Bordeaux."

Winespectator (88)

Delicious red, with plum, cherry, raspberry and milk chocolate character. Medium body. Soft tannins and a silky texture.
