Plum rich. Japanese Umebishi. Later on, changed into juicy, cherry. Good match with Japanese style of grilled sea eel. 2019 @1280, domaine -, 220629-220715 — 2 years ago
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. — a month ago
2010 is the first vintage that is certified organic here. Another great effort, and a good introduction to the grand vin Couvent des Jacobins. Abv. 14% — 3 months ago
Bright and exciting with plenty of structure, fruit and beauty to cellar a few more year but why, enjoy!!! — 2 days ago
2016 vintage. 62% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark red with some orange evolution on the rim. Raspberries and cedar wood , with truffles lurking in the background. Medium-bodied, with slightly jammy red fruit. The tannins are not as velvety as both the 2020 and 2022, but still there is a good balance,complexity and length. Maybe closing down a bit, the future will tell. However, I don't see this ever reaching the level of the 2020 and certainly not 2022. Outperformed by the 2016 Couvent des Jacobins tasted alongside.

Gentle and calm aroma with concentration and forest like. Solid structure. Plum, blueberry. Tannic. Acidic. Enough decanting like 2 hours is necessary. 2020 @2800, domaine, 230701 — a year ago

Opened and double-decanted earlier in the morning. The 1982 pours a slightly more orange/garnet color. On the nose, the wine is vinous with rather heady notes of cherry lozenges, coffee, herbal, Jack’s Supreme Pizza, menthol, purple flowers and leather. On the palate, the wine is dry with solid structure still. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and on the richer side. To me, this was one of the huge surprises of the evening, more than keeping up with the thoroughbreds. Drink now. — 7 days ago
