The 2017 La Conseillante has firmed up in recent months. This bottle was decanted for a couple of hours, and to be frank, I had reckoned on it being more open. More fool me! This is tight and intense on the nose, beautifully defined yet clearly shutting down. The firmness that I alluded to in my previous note is more accentuated, and as such, I would give this several years before broaching. (Neal Martin, Vinous, January 2023)

Decanted for an hour plus and feels a little tight but definitely beginning to loosen up. Opulent dark fruit and chocolate predominate the palate. Full bodied, high acidity, medium alcohol, lots of velvety tannins with a long chewy finish.
