5 L - Magnum Rating : Wine Advocate 98 pts

I tasted it again in the context of all the wines from the group

At twenty years old the 1998 La Conseillante continues to state its claim as the best wine of that decade

Etienne de Montille

A curious and challenging young wine

Green acidity

and incorporates reserve wines to enhance complexity and consistency

warm cassis and blackberry pie with nuances of spice cake

It’s full-bodied and so juicy with a wealth of ripe black fruit and layers of sweet spices
