Red	2014 Couvent des Jacobins St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more	Options Post a Comment View BottleScholar's profile Report Issue 7/27/2023 - BottleScholar wrote: NR Color: Deep Ruby. Aromatic Intensity: M+. Sweetness: Dry. Acidity: M+. Tannin Level: High. Tannin Nature: Ripe, chalky. Alcohol: H (14.0%). Body: Full. Flavor Intensity: M+. Aroma & Flavor Characteristics: Blackberry, black cherry, black plum, licorice, sharpened pencil, garrigue, charred wood, baking spice, espresso grounds. Fruit is concentrated and ripe. Other Observations: Finish: M+. Quality: Very Good. The fruit concentration, tannin, and alcohol are in balance, with the medium(+) acid adding vibrancy to what otherwise would be a “heavy” wine. If the intensity and finish were longer, or there were a little more complexity of flavors, this wine would be outstanding. Aging: Suitable for aging. There is a lot of concentrated black fruit that can transition into tertiary flavors and aromas, adding complexity. The tannins would also benefit from softening further. The medium(+) acid and high tannins, along with the high alcohol, will ensure the wine is well-preserved as it slowly ages. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment
Red	1982 Couvent des Jacobins St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more	Options Post a Comment View pdebree's profile Report Issue 7/4/2023 - pdebree Likes this wine: NR This was a fun one. Probably way past its prime, but still a good drink. Brick color, minimal fruit, still a good bit of acidity and a little tannin left. Dusty/moldy (in a not so bad way) but that faded quickly.

Red	2010 Couvent des Jacobins St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more	Options Post a Comment View Mazy's profile Report Issue 6/26/2023 - Mazy Likes this wine: 91 points Les tannins se sont assagis, le vin a développé quelques arômes tertiaires de cuir, de mousse, mais conserve encore un peu de fruits. Très peu de lies au fond de la bouteille. C’est vraiment très bon. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comment
Red	2012 Couvent des Jacobins St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more	Options Post a Comment View BottleScholar's profile Report Issue 6/8/2023 - BottleScholar Does not like this wine: NR Beautiful nose of ripe and cooked red fruit, warm spices, and campfire. Flavors of black cherry, blackberry, warm baking spices, pipe tobacco, campfire, and forest floor. Fruit is fully ripe. I love the producer, and this particular vintage is a little unbalanced, though still very drinkable. Oak isn't fully integrated, sitting on top of the fruit. Alcohol presents on the finish as a little hot. Glassy polished tannin texture on the sip transitions nicely to very fine-grained on the finish. Flavor and aroma intensity: M+. Body: M+, with a smooth texture. Tannin: M+. Acid: M+. Finish: M. Good, with the alcohol impact most affecting the quality perception. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

Der Gaumen ist voluminös, sehr vollmundig, mit zupackendem Tannin und einer ausladenend, süssen Frucht. Im Abgang sehr aromatisch, lang und dunkelfruchtig. Ein qualitativ hochwertiger, opulenter Vertreter dieses sonnenverwöhnten Jahrgangs.

Red	2020 Couvent des Jacobins St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more	Options Post a Comment View Jeff Leve's profile Report Issue 3/21/2023 - Jeff Leve wrote: 93 points Smoke, oak, espresso, and chocolate-covered plums are at the core of this wine. Supple in texture, with layers of silky, fresh, sweet black cherries and chocolate, this is going to be delicious on release, and it has the stuff to age as well. This is easily the finest vintage of Couvent des Jacobins produced yet. Drink from 2023-2042. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment
Red	2020 Couvent des Jacobins Calicem St. Émilion Merlot more	Options Post a Comment View Jeff Leve's profile Report Issue 3/21/2023 - Jeff Leve wrote: 95 points There is a wealth of fruit here as you find black, red and blue fruits meshed with smoke, cocoa, licorice, crushed rocks and flowers in the nose. On the palate, the wine is opulent, vibrant, long and deep. There is flesh and freshness in the finish that carries through to the hedonistic endnote. Drink from 2024-2045.

Good, relatively dark ruby color. Nose is rich, with a heavy Merlot component. I thought I detected mint or mentholatum. Very light on the palate, but with very good flavor. Extremely accessible at this stage. Lovely actually. 5-10-16-7: 88/100. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment
Red	2015 Couvent des Jacobins St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more	Options Post a Comment View Brendel's profile Report Issue 8/5/2022 - Brendel Likes this wine: 89 points Wine is dark red, slightly purplish in color. The nose is very lovely sweet candied plums, blackberries and bluberry tart. The wine has round tannins, good mouthfeel, and a lot of fruit. Chako found the tannins still a bit rougher than she would like. But we enjoyed this wine. 89-90 pts. This winery is right next to our apartment. Tasted at Etablissement Martin in St Emilion.
