Duo Conseillante other_regions 40% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah

40% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah that spent 16 months in equal parts concrete tanks and smaller barrels

This problem did not occur in 2012

Striking aromatics meld into an expressive core of fruit in this bold

to discover that the sugars were that high

Duo Conseillante other_regions 40% Mourvèdre and 10% SyrahThe 2012 Duo de Conseillante is much better than the 2011, lively, vivacious red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit, a touch of sous bois and cigar humidor. I like the delineation here. The palate is medium bodied with a gentle grip on the entry. Certainly this Duo is not short of substance with a gentle tannic grip towards the finely balanced, harmonious finish. Excellent for a deuxime vin. Tasted at La Conseillante vertical at the property.
