JAMES SUCKLING: "Density and fullness to this, but at the same time it is tight and formed with creamy tannins that envelop the wine. Medium to full body. Pretty blackberry and black-cherry character. Very pure. Well balanced, but so structured as well. Merlot with 11% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot. Mostly limestone. Tasted twice."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2023 Couvent des Jacobins offers up attractive aromas of dark berries and cherries mingled with hints of pencil shaving, licorice and petals. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and layered, with velvety tannins and good mid-palate density, it displays plenty of potential."

FALSTAFF: „Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart tabakig-kräuterwürzig unterlegte dunkle Waldbeerfrucht, Orangenzesten. Mittlere Komplexität, Herzkirschen präsente Tannine etwas trocken im Abgang, ein Hauch von Nugat im Rückgeschmack."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "Composed of 84% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2023 Couvent des Jacobins is deep garnet-purple colored with notes of blackberry pie, preserved plums, and raspberry coulis hopping from the glass, leading to hints of sassafras, black pepper, and underbrush. Medium-bodied, the palate is soft and delicate with just enough freshness and a peppery finish."
