Bouquet of cinnamon, anise, fig, and worn leather commingled herb-scented red and dark cherry. Rich yet gentle palate with silky texture. Soft elegant tannins coats the mouth like wearing baby cashmere.

This is a bit more advanced than I thought it would be at 10 years - not a complain.

100% Tempranillo, 2012 is the first vintage without Merlot. — a year ago

Was explained to me as a warm cashmere sweater hug. Can’t say that’s not true. — 4 years ago

The 2015 La Conseillante is entertaining the idea of drinkability, though I would personally cellar mine for another couple of years. It is gorgeous on the nose and offers precocious truffle-infused black fruit, maybe a little glossy in style. The palate has a cashmere texture, pliant tannins, tremendous weight and depth without the mineralité that renders the 2016 or 2020 more exciting long-term propositions. Nevertheless, this is a wonderful Pomerol with a long future head. (Neal Martin, Vinous, December 2023)

Although I find not all 2012’s are ready to go, Mugnier’s Fuées is absolutely gorgeous with a mesmerizing bouquet, liquid cashmere texture and a crazzzzy long finish. When it peaked towards the end of dinner it was really something to behold. Superb. — 2 years ago

This is really good. A little sour with espresso bitterness, but a cashmere mouthfeel and nice lingering finish. Not a ton of fruit, gives the aroma of an older wine despite being a youngish vintage. — 4 years ago

Wow 98 is good. Mesmerizing aromatics of saffron, allspice and honeycomb with a silky liquid cashmere texture, dazzling length and racy acids. The whole package. As they say, liquid gold, and all that was needed for dessert. Great to be able to enjoy more than just a glass. 👑 — 2 years ago
