Tasting notes
The 1992 La Conseillante displays light to medium body, an attractive but diluted raspberry and vanillin-scented nose, a supple texture, and a short, shallow, woody finish. Given the wine's lack of concentration, it should be drunk over the next 3-4 years. For one of the most elegant and stylish wines of Bordeaux (as well as a personal favorite), this is a disappointment.

This entry has always been disappointing. Very light and fresh, diluted, offering floral and strawberry aromas and flavors. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1995
