Château La Conseillante Pomerol 1971

Not a renowned vintage generally, but Pomerol was one of the excpeptions, and this is showing beautifully right now, with the strawberry sweetness of a fully mature wine, tipping over towards being past its peak, but still ready to capture waves of tobacco, cranberry, pomegranate, campfire smoke, soft leather, soy, iodine, oyster shell, with a fresh lift on the finish.
