Couvent Des Jacobins St-Emilion Joanne 2024

The 2024 Couvent des Jacobins is impressive. Dark and enveloping, with fine balance, Couvent des Jacobins is a standout. Blackberry, lavender, licorice, chocolate, new leather and spice fill out the layers in a broad, creamy Saint-Émilion. All the elements are so well balanced. Time on the skins was very long (five weeks in total), but it worked like a charm here. Drinking Window: 2029-2039. (Antonio Galloni,vinous.com)
