Christian Balog beschreibt den Wein wie folgt:
Dichter satter Kern, nur leichte Aufhellung zum Rand hin, Tiefer komplexer Duft von reifen dunklen Früchten, zart Florale Nuancen, Süssholz, Vanille, Veilchen. Im Mund reine Seide, die Tannieren bauen sich grossartig auf, schieben immer wieder Ladungen an Frucht über den Gaumen. Und dann diese Balance, diese Frische. fast salzig im Finale. Das ist grossartig. und vergibt ihm 97-99 Punkte.
James Suckling bewertet den Chateau La Conseillante 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:
This is a forceful red, showing blueberry and blackberry character with violets and light wet earth. Clarity and beauty with so much transparency and focus. Full-bodied, firm and silky with lots of white-pepper and salt undertones.
Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau La Conseillante 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:
The 2018 La Conseillante is a blend of 83% Merlot and 17% Cabernet Franc, with a 3.65 pH and 14% alcohol. Yields were 32 hectoliters per hectare; Merlot was harvested September 19 to October 1. and Cabernet Franc was harvested on October 4. Very deep purple-black colored, it comes charging out of the gate with energetic notes of wild blueberries, chocolate-covered cherries and warm black plums plus hints of lilacs, damp soil, cardamom and cloves with gentle wafts of cast iron pan and fragrant earth. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the mouth with elegant black fruit and earthy layers, framed by soft, velvety tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and mineral laced.
Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau La Conseillante 2018 Pomerol wie folgt:
The 2018 La Conseillante is magnificent. A wine of real vertical lift and explosiveness, the 2018 is distinguished by its spine of energy, freshness and purity of fruit. Inky blue/purplish berry fruit, mocha, lavender spice and mint develop in the glass, but it is the wine's overall sense of harmony that truly stands out. The 2018 showed tremendous vibrancy and vitality, with superb mid-palate richness and phenomenal balance all three times I tasted it. It is without question one of the wines of the vintage. The blend is 83% Merlot and 17% Cabernet Franc. This is the first vintage that includes a touch of wine aged in amphora, just 3%. Don't miss it!
