The 2016 Couvent des Jacobins starts to deliver, even if it is nowhere near its peak. Long time in the shadow of the excellent 2015, it shows now that it is in the same league. Totally outperforming fellow Cru Classé Château Laroze 2016 tasted alongside, with more depth and freshness. — 2 months ago

2024 spring. No detailed notes on this bottle but I’ve enjoyed this multiple times in the recent past and this was of a piece — 9 months ago

2012 vintage. Opened and decanted. Tasted 45 mins after decanting. Medium-heavy body with tremendous power. Nose not giving up much at that point other than nebulous, dark fruits. Flavors of spearmint, watercress, rhubarb and ash. Needed at least another hour of lounge time in the decanter to unfurl those wings somewhat but three hours woulda been better. Two bottles left so will opt for a 6 hr decant next viz if possible. 12.25.24. — 23 days ago

Very nice Villages wine. Blackberry, Boysenberry fruit, tart. 30% new oak, but it has all been absorbed. Not oaky at all. Long. — 2 years ago
