One of Jean-Philippe Janeouix?s small estates, the 2011 Le Conseiller reveals the pleasures one can find in the lower-level Bordeaux if your selection is intelligent. The impeccably well-made, rich, medium-bodied, dense plum/ruby/purple-colored 2011 offers up sweet notes of camphor, black currants, black cherries and spice, a deep style and a heady finish. Consume this sleeper of the vintage over the next 3-5 years.
