The wine is a bit wild

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

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

the vines are accustomed to the heat

This problem did not occur in 2012

Duo Conseillante other_regions The wine is a bitThe 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.
