The gorgeous purity in the sun-drenched fruit, the sexy, silky tannins and the still floral, truffle and plum nose all work in tandem, to make this an off the hook tasting experience.

23 Vintages of Château La Conseillante 1947-2011: Wonderful depth to the nose, spicy and warm, a hint of figs (suggesting oxidation); drier in the mouth than the nose suggested, surprisingly slim and tight, especially for a -59.

From a bottle that has never left the chateau, this was stunning in every sense of the word. Lush, sensuous, opulent and frankly decadent, the wine has depth, silky tannins, complexity and a finish that does not quit. A treat and a thrill.

I wish I had more of this beauty in my cellar. My one and only bottle was popped and poured and it delivered from start to finish. Medium bodied, silky, refined, fresh, sweet and with length, allowing you to savor the almost 60 year old fruit, and stick with the silky textures as well. There is no reason to hold this any longer.

A great bottle of 1959, a vintage of Conseillante that I've never tasted before. Soft, almost laid back, but very beguiling. Loved it.
