{"product_id":"chateau-la-conseillante-1983","title":"Château La Conseillante Pomerol 1983 AOC 0,75l","description":"\u003cp\u003eLook at a map of Pomerol and La Conseillante is hard to miss. Its twelve hectares sit right on the boundary with Saint-Émilion, hemmed in by L'Évangile, with Petrus a short walk north and Cheval Blanc directly across the lane. The Nicolas family have owned it since 1871, and the violet capsule and purple-edged label have barely changed in that time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe house style is the thing people talk about. Merlot with a decent slice of Cabernet Franc, grown on gravel over clay, gives a wine reliably described as scented rather than powerful; violets and dried rose come up again and again in tasting notes going back decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1983 was a good year in Pomerol, better than the vintage's mixed reputation in the Médoc would suggest. A bottle of this age has done all its growing up. What is left is perfume, softened fruit and the fine, unforced texture that Pomerol clay gives, sold as a collectible bottle from a specific year rather than a promise about the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Château La Conseillante\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1983\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pomerol AOC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bordeaux, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it is likely to be now.\u003c\/strong\u003e La Conseillante's better vintages hold their perfume for decades, so this has a fair chance of still being expressive, though at forty-three it will be delicate and wants opening gently and drinking quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho it suits.\u003c\/strong\u003e Suits a serious forty-third birthday or anniversary, especially for someone who drinks right-bank Bordeaux and would recognise the violet capsule on sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition.\u003c\/strong\u003e Graded good by the merchant holding it, meaning label, capsule and fill are all sound for the age; the full condition report is confirmed to you before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance.\u003c\/strong\u003e Bought to order from a professional European merchant.
