Duo Conseillante other_regions_italy it offers soft textures andThe 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.
