Adrian van Velsen, vvWine.ch & VINUM:

Expressiv, floral, mit Blutorangenzesten, Irisblüten, top strukturiert, pfeffrige Noten; am Gaumen fokussiert, eine Delikatesse sondergleichen, kraftvoll, dabei federleicht, rund und weich, gleichzeitig mit grosser Eleganz; im Abgang von erhabener Länge, mit würzig-fruchtigem Finale. Grosses Kino. Trinkreife 2028-2060. Bewertung 100/00. -Adrian van Velsen, vvWine.ch & VINUM

Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

The 2022 La Conseillante is just as exquisite in bottle as it was en primeur. Wafting from the glass with an exotic bouquet of mulberries, black raspberries and plums mingled with notions of black truffle, burning embers, violets, mint and licorice, it's full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with a fleshy, even unctuous core of fruit underpinned by a broad chassis of sweet, powdery and perfectly integrated tannin. This is the most lavish, sensual La Conseillante of the last decade, with the most texture and density, yet it remains unerringly precise and harmonious. It's a blend of 87% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Franc. Drink Date 2027-2055. Rating 100/100. -William Kelley-

Vinous:

The 2022 La Conseillante was picked at 33hL/ha between 5 and 20 September and raised in 70% new oak plus 30% in amphorae. There is 13.9% alcohol. This is quite discrete on the nose, just like L'Évangile, only really opening after several minutes. Blackberry, blueberry, hints of iris flower, perhaps more floral than L'Évangile and Cheval Blanc. The palate is medium-bodied with velvety tannins plus a fine bead of acidity. Fresh and focused, this is maybe less concentrated on the mid-palate than expected but that maintains an unerring sense of equilibrium. Tensile and very smooth with an underlying sense of strict like its aforementioned neighbors. A rough decant prizes this Pomerol open and reveals its inner core of mineralité. Anyone spending less than 15 minutes tasting this Pomerol is likely to have totally missed it. Saline both on the finish and aftertaste, Marielle Cazaux has crafted one of the most intellectual La Conseillante wines in recent years. Drink Date 2030-2065. Rating 97-99/100. -Neal Martin-

James Suckling:

This is sensational with extra fine tannins that run the length of the wine. It’s medium-bodied with excellent length and so Conseillante in nature. Silky, silky, silky. Creamy texture. Flowers such as violets at the end. Love this. 87% merlot and 13% cabernet franc. Rating 98-99/100. -JamesSuckling.com-

falstaff.com:

Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opake Kern, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Feine Nuancen von Edelholz und Lakritze, florale Nuancen, reife rote Kirschen, etwas Brombeeren, kandierte Orangenzesten, tabakige Nuancen. Stoffig, elegant, feine Beerenfrucht, balancierter Körper, finessenreiche Säurestruktur, mineralisch-salzig im Abgang, wirkt ungemein leichtfüßig und seidig, bleibt lange haften, frisch und mit großem Trinkanimo ausgestattet, ein Paradebeispiel für dieses delikate Gewächs. Bewertung 98/100. -falstaff.com, Peter Moser-
