  "Mittleres Granat, rubiner Rand. Nase wie ein grosser Richebourg, ein Korb voll frisch gepflückter Beeren, dahinter Edelhölzer, heller Tabak, feiner Eukalyptushauch, kandierte Cakesfrüchte. Im Gaumen zart, wieder viel Früchte, Saft in den hoch feinen, mit schmeichelndem Fett umgebenen Tanninen, schöne Konzentration, somit ein recht grosses Potenzial in sich bergend, aufgrund der Frische und stützenden Säure grössere Chancen, sich lange zu halten im Vergleich zu den heute recht reifen Jahrgängen 1989, 1990 und 1998, gleicht (in einer verbesserten Form) dem heute noch genialen 1985er."

  "This is a very good wine, with a more serious tannic structure than the 2005, whose tannins are a little less pliable. It's not as joyful as the 2005 but the cinnamon, spice, cassis, heather and fern-like structure give depth and precision. 2006 is a vintage that has closed up then opened again several times over the past few years, so I definitely suggest you carafe it before drinking as it's yet to settle into its stride."

  Wine Spectator
  "Intense aromas of truffle and berries lead to a full body, with ultrarefined tannins and a very long finish. Balanced and wonderfully crafted. Gorgeous. Extremely well done. Best after 2014. 4,165 cases made."

  The Wine Advocate
  "Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London and then at the château. The 2006 Château La Conseillante had perhaps the most show-stopping bouquet out of all seventy-odd 2006s that I tasted at ten years. It explodes from the glass with raspberry coulis, kirsch, honey and marmalade, so much so that I am not sure if I would nail it as a Bordeaux, let alone a Pomerol! It is precocious and very attractive. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe red cherry and strawberry fruit, plenty of black truffle, fine tannin and well-judged acidity. This is an opulent, decadent La Conseillante that is atypical of the vintage and yet you totally fall for its charms. What it might lack in subtlety, it makes up for in sheer charm. Tasted January 2016."

  "The 2006 La Conseillante is solid in the vintage and certainly shows the house style with its incredibly perfumed, complex bouquet of black raspberries, plums, incense and cedary spice. Possessing medium to full-bodied richness, sweet, tannin, and an expansive, broad style on the palate, it’s ready to go today yet will keep for another 10-15 years."

  "Very dark crimson. Racy nose – more lift and fragrance than the Saint-Émilions (the first Pomerol I tasted blind after dozens of Saint-Émilions blind). Not at all forced but very opulent and very Pomerol. Rich and velvety with good, fresh acidity. In the top rank of Pomerols. Lots of concentrated tannins. Attractive succulence and sweetness on the palate. Very round and successful. Not big and heavy but beautifully balanced and very healthy. Juicy and fruity! Only light to medium weight at this stage."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Quite a firm, tannic, almost strict character here. There is more interest in the nose, with its floral, earthy, red and black fruits, tobacco, truffle and plum, than on the palate. Give this at least a decade, and it could soften, but it is not a lot of fun to drink today."

  Falstaff
  "Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Randaufhellung. In der Nase feine florale Nuancen, nach Veilchen, frische Kirschen, zart nach Cassis. Am Gaumen saftig, fruchtbetont und elegant, charmant, zart nach Mandarinen, leichtfüßig, feste Tannine, rotbeerig-kirschige Frucht im Nachhall. Delikater Speisenbegleiter."

  Wine Enthusiast
  "A wonderfully firm wine, which balances extraction with pure sweet fruit. It moves comfortably within its tannic structure, the ripe Merlot allowed plenty of play to show off its black jelly and plum flavors."
