The 2017 La Conseillante is a beautifully deep, plush and energetic wine. It wafts from the glass with delicious aromas of plums, black cherry and raspberry, interwoven with notes of dark chocolate, anise and dried flowers. With ample concentration and volume on the palate, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity ensure this will have a long, distinguished life ahead.
