Bouquet fruité, de bonne intensité, révélant des notes de myrtilles et de mûres suivies de nuances minérales. Caractère fin et fruité en bouche. Le vin est harmonieux, sapide et parfaitement soutenu par ses tannins. Finale fruitée et persistante.

Polished aromas of currants, blueberries, mahogany, walnut and tobacco. It’s full-bodied with firm, tight-grained tannins. Chewy, concentrated and structured. Real and harmonious character. Try from 2024.

The 2018 Couvent des Jacobins is perfumed with a black cherry and redcurrant scented bouquet, the oak here is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins that feel rigid at the moment, but that should eventually soften. There is just enough freshness here with a welcome touch of spice towards the finish. Fine.

With a silky, juicy, forward character, the wine is lush, plush and polished. The espresso, wild cherry, stone and fennel is apparent from start to finish. There is depth but you also find energy, giving it lift in the finish.

Deep garnet-purple in color, it features baked blueberries, stewed plums and redcurrant jelly with hints of cumin seed, cinnamon and crushed rocks.

This is a substantial wine with powerful tannins, backing up a ripe and rich palate. Full-bodied, dense and flavorful. Shows lots of dark-berry, dark-chocolate and dark-tea flavors.
