Today sees the release of a fine Pomerol, Ch\u00e2teau la Conseillante<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>Under the intelligent directorship of Jean-Michel Laporte,\u00a0La Conseillante\u00a0is a property which has gone from strength to strength, and in this is a wine that all the critics liked a lot – all except Robert Parker who gave it a rather measly 88-91. However Neal Martin, also on the eRobertParker website, gave it a whopping 94-96, writing that it is ‘a ‘controlled\u201d La Conseillante\u201d with just a elegant, beautiful finish’. At \u00a3780 it is only a little bit cheaper than the current market price of the Parker-95-rated 2008, so you have to be prepared to believe in Mr Martin to think that this is a really\u00a0fantastic buy now. On the other hand the price is down over 50% on the 2010, which is sort of what we’ve been asking for all along, so on balance, this looks a not completely unreasonable buy for lovers of La Conseillante.<\/p>\n

Also out today is Gruaud Larose<\/a> <\/strong>at \u00a3395.\u00a0I cannot get very fired up by this wine and at this price I’d simply point you at Lagrange<\/a>,<\/strong> which is a significantly better wine, and say have a case of S\u00e9nejac<\/a><\/strong> with it\u00a0for virtually the same money.<\/p>\n

The second to last of the Sauternes (since we are still yet to hear from Yquem), de Fargues<\/a><\/strong> is out today at \u00a3780.<\/p>\n

Today’s other releases include the rare Cos d’Estournel Blanc<\/a><\/strong> at \u00a3230 per six, Feytit Clinet<\/a><\/strong> at \u00a3380, Clos l’Eglise<\/a><\/strong> at \u00a3320 per six. I can’t be bothered with the rest because the prices are insane: Branon<\/strong> \u00a3510 – ha ha ha ha ha ha ha\u00a0call the men in white coats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
