The 2019 Clos des Jacobins has a very ripe bouquet with raisin and dates infusing the black fruit, opulent and just maybe showing a little over-maturity. The palate is better with saturated tannins that lend this a silky smooth texture. The oak sticks out at the moment and will need time to be subsumed. There is just a little bit of alcohol evident on the finish. It might well pull together to become a fine Saint-Émilion, but I will be quite prudent for now.

This is a tight, focused young Bordeaux with dark-chocolate, currant and walnut character. It’s medium-to full-bodied with a lively finish. Some minerals and black tea, too. Very typical.

Rich and deep black berry fruit flavours on display, well balanced, notably closing in through the mid palate. The tannins are enrobed with silk, and this is a precise wine with careful extraction. Black chocolate notes, a little bitter right now, add to the feel of a classic St Emilion that is successfully judging the line between glamour and drinkability. Magali and Thibault Decoster since 2005. 75% new oak. Drinking Window 2026 - 2038
