fruity and spices aromas

It feels young—you wouldn't guess it's already ten years old—and it has the textbook aromas from Rioja

Its juicy fruits are a part of a package with the concentrated tannins and smoky wood flavors that allow for long aging

Chateau La Conseillante, Pomerol, France 2019 Emporda 35% Cabernet Franc and 5%The transparency and vibrancy here is impressive. From the very start its so aromatic, showing crushed berry, dark chocolate, coffee and cedar character. Full bodied, yet tight and wonderfully tailored, with tannins that are fine textured, but intense and so long, giving this wine great length. A joy to taste, but needs many years to soften and come together. Wonderful development here.
