After a precarious run, the 2001 La Conseillante was as a shoo-in. It has a seductive mélange of red and black fruit, those hints of truffle and white pepper coming through, youthful and brushing off its 21 years effortlessly. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins, plenty of crisp black fruit laced with sage and still offering that cheeky soupçon of curry powder on the persistent finish. This is now reaching its peak and is just a lovely Pomerol.

A vintage that is just getting better and better, particularly in Pomerol, and it's around half the price of the 2000. There's a sweetness to the palate, with layers of gentle black fruits, damson, truffle, liquorice and spice. It's succulent , with a mouthwatering acidity - a lovely wine with good persistency. Do yourself a favour and find a bottle.

Tasted at the La Conseillante vertical at Chez Bruce. The La Conseillante 2001 has a lovely, rounded bouquet with notes of blackberry, loganberry, a touch of espresso and fresh fig that simply wafts from the glass and seduces upon contact. The palate is quite compact at the moment, good acidity with firm tannins, slightly foursquare at first but mellowing in the glass, quite linear towards the finish that refuses to fan out or give much away at the moment. Taciturn, very well crafted and very understated on the finish that has the perfect marriage of fleshiness and dryness to leave the palate eager for more. The '01 is an exemplar for the estate. Magnificent. Tasted December 2010.

2001 Château La Conseillante 94+ This is rather jammy on the nose with macerated cherry, cassis and blueberry; a touch of soy developing with aeration although it does gain clarity in the glass. The ebullient palate is full-bodied, slightly overdone perhaps and in need of more acidity. Blueberry, plum, liquorice and game. Dense, tannic finish: this certainly needs more time and is even a little unresolved at present. Patience required but I have faith in this outstanding Pomerol. Tasted October 2007. 94+

Aufhellendes Granat-Rubin. Von der Nase her momentan in einer schwierigen Phase, getrocknete Pflaumen, Demi-Glace, keine Primärfrucht zeigend. Saftiger, feiner Gaumen, nun mehr Frucht aufweisend, rotes Cassis, Johannisbeeren, mittlere Länge. Hat Mühe, die mögliche Grösse zu zeigen, bald einmal in einer ersten Genussreife.

Couleur intense. Nez intense et complexe. Bouche soyeuse et très serrée dès les premiers instants, puis le vin s'amplifie, évolue ascendant, extrêmement puissant à partir du milieu de bouche, tout en gardant des tannins fins et un goût noble, réglissé et floral. Très, très grande longueur. Gouté 24 fois depuis sa naissance, je l'ai toujours noté comme un immense vin, supérieur au 2000. Regoûté au château le 15 novembre, je lui ai attribué la même note, saluant son moelleux, sa dynamique, sa profondeur finale et son goût truffé. Il est, eu égard la hauteur de la note et le prix la meilleure affaire du moment à Bordeaux.

Always a Burgundian, feminine style of wine, La Conseillante’s 2001 exhibits aromas of plum and raspberry fruit as well as noticeable new oak in a medium-bodied, dark ruby/plum-colored format with excellent ripeness, but hard tannin in the finish. Although disjointed, it reveals signs of precociousness as well as some edginess and unintegrated tannin (the reason for the question mark). There is a lot going on in this elegant 2001, but it is not nearly as profound as the 2000. Nevertheless, it is the type of wine that may fool early tasters as it does need 2-3 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2016.

Beautiful wine with blackberry, chocolate and floral aromas. Medium- to full-bodied, with silky tannins and a pretty finish. Refined and silky. Not a big Conseillante, but all in finesse and texture. I like it as much as the 2000. Best after 2006. 4,165 cases made.

The barrel sample variation that I experienced in 2002 was no longer a problem in 2003. A typically elegant style of La Conseillante, with a deep ruby/purple color and a sweet nose of framboise intermixed with minerals, smoke, and toasty oak, the 2001 is medium-bodied, elegant, and clearly a finesse-styled wine that lacks the weight, power, and concentration of the fabulous 2000 but delivers plenty of seductive fruit in a measured, soft, silky-textured style. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2014.

At best, this 2001 is an exceptionally elegant combination of black raspberries, cherries, smoke, and toasty oak. However, one sample tasted was short in the mouth, and although very good, hardly exceptional. Nevertheless, it is a wine of finesse, nobility, and elegance. Sample variation is the reason for the question mark. While the 2001 does not possess the weight, power, or concentration of the marvelous 2000, it is a successful effort that can be drunk young or cellared for 12-15 years.
