  Not quite as fruit forward as some of the previous bottles. Cassis, plums, spice and mild tannins, good mid-range and moderate finish. Very good, relatively inexpensive Bordeaux from a good vintage. Should hold for a few years.

  Have had this wine on several occasions and continues to improve. A bit fruit forward with some complexity (especially considering the price) this year of Conseiller is quit good, and better than many of the previous years I have had (2004, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011). While still having pronounced fruit, the tannins have toned down a bit and the wine is a very good example of Janoueix's wine style.

  Have had this wine on several occasions and it continues to be a very good generic Bordeaux from a very good produced in an excellent year. However, while the fruit was pronounced, there was touch of alcohol and the tannins were a bit more pronounced than in other bottlings. This wine should probably be consumed in the next 2-3 years.
