Tasted OnceI must confess I never dreamed so many 1959 Pomerols would turn out so rich and concentrated. La Conseillante's 1959 exhibits a fragrant bouquet of flowers, black-raspberries, and smoke, medium to full body, soft tannin, and wonderful, pure, sweet, expansive fruit. It is a classic example of La Conseillante's ability to produce authoritatively rich wines of extraordinary elegance and complexity.

A lean, mean wine. Deep ruby-garnet, with a perfumed nose. Full-bodied, with coffee flavor; turns a bit astringent on the finish.--1959 Bordeaux horizontal. -JS
