March 21, 2023 - 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.

May 22, 2021 - 90-92 vvPunkte (85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot, 45% neues Holz, 55% 1jähriges Holz, 14.5% Alkohol, pH 3.68) Feine, komplexe Nase, kühler Rauch, dunkle Frucht, keinerlei Holzdominanz, strahlt Frische aus. Im Auftakt mild, reife aber nicht überreife Frucht, sehr feinkörniges Tannin, gut integrierte Säure, der Wein hat Kraft und zeigt durchaus eine gewisse Opulenz, bleibt dabei ausgewogen und wirkt überhaupt nicht üppig. Im Abgang mit sehr guter Länge und einem dunkelfruchtigen Nachhall. Ein sehr schöner Couvent des Jacobins mit deutlich mehr Frische, als ich es beim 2018er erlebt habe. Gelungen! 2026-2040 (April/Mai 2021) vvWine.ch

May 20, 2021 - Deep garnet in hue, the wine is spicy, floral and on the ripe, dark red fruit side. You also find additional notes of licorice, wet earth and espresso in the perfume. Rich, supple, sweet and fresh with soft, ripe tannins and a luscious, black cherry and spice filled mid-palate and finish, this is a nice step-up in quality, character and freshness here. This is easily the finest vintage of Couvent des Jacobins produced yet. 93-95
