Esse vinho já merecia algum destaque por ser homenagem à bravura e nobreza do cavalo dos donos, Arlequim, que descansa em seus campos e se confunde com a força e pureza da Terra que o viu nascer, viver e agora o acolhe pela eternidade.

Todavia, este vinho faz-se presente também por seu bom custo-benefício, que traz o melhor do encontro das Cordilheira dos Andes com o Oceano Pacífico. — 10 months ago

On the nose ripe plum, cassis, eucalyptus, light roasted coffee beans, vanilla and hint of cured meat. More stewed fruits on the palate, but with a firm acidic spin. Fresh herbs also provide a lift. Ripe velvety tannins. A bit heat on the long finish. Very delicious.

The Bravura is the winery’s top bottling, and usually is a Bordeaux blend. But for 15’, it’s 100% Cab. 22 months in French barrel, 40% new. — 3 years ago

9.7

The 1989 La Conseillante is one of the top performers in Pomerol and arguably now one of the best values. This bottle confirms that exuberance and joie-de-vivre on the nose, displaying the telltale crushed violets in bloom, with precious but controlled red and black fruit underneath. The palate is sumptuous from the start, presenting cashmere tannin and perhaps a little more glycerine in this bottle. The bravura finish leaves you grinning from ear to ear. Stunning, and it will remain on its plateau for many years. Tasted at the 1989 Bordeaux dinner at Hatched in London. (Neal Martin, Vinous, September 2019) — 5 years ago
