2005 Château Le Conseiller (Jean-Philippe Janoueix)
Community Tasting Note
jrobs7777 Does not like this wine:
Saturday, February 13, 2016 - This must be a bad lot I received OR the wine itself is flawed. Every bottle we've drank has been flat or off. This one had the same greenness and was just eh. We dumped the rest and I highly doubt the last bottle ever becomes something better. It will not be consumed in a meaningful setting, that is for sure.

Until relatively recently, this was a very good generic Bordeaux for drinking on weeknights or casual occasions. However, in the past year or so this wine has begun to drop off the edge. It is a bit oxidized, fruit is declining, and tannins are more pronounced. This is not a wine meant for long aging. I would suggest trying the 2008, 2009, or 2010. Many of them are still available, at least in my locale.
