Dark chocolate, bark, dried flowers, cherries, walnuts, crushed stones and orange zest on the nose. Graphite, too. Textured, mineral and expansive with a full body and firm, chalky tannins. Broad yet focused. I like the cool freshness at the end. Best yet? From organically grown grapes. Try in 2026. Rating: 95 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (May 2023)

The 2020 Couvent des Jacobins has come together well. It remains a big, deep wine. Blackberry jam, chocolate, spice, licorice and copious new oak are all dialed up. This is not at all subtle but it’s a style that works well here. Drinking range: 2025 - 2035 Rating: 91 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Feb 2023)
The 2020 Couvent des Jacobins has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, blueberry and light floral scents. I admire the delineation and focus, which are pretty nuanced for the vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, classic style and impressive sapidity. Displays a well-structured and persistent finish. Excellent.
