The 2022 Clos des Jacobins is impressive, and it is safely up with the finest releases I’ve tasted from this château. Deep ruby/purple-hued, with a gorgeous perfume of spicy red and black fruits, chalky earth, and spice, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a round, lush, powerful mouthfeel, velvety tannins, and outstanding length. It needs air to show at its best, so throw this in a decanter if drinking any time soon. It will ideally be given 3-4 years of bottle age, and it’s going to still be drinking beautifully at age 20.
