Clos des Jacobins

Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé 1982

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. — a year ago

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

Probably my favorite St. Emillion. First had it at a restaurant in St. Emillion (2006 vintage?) and brought some back home. Had several 2009 vintage bottles since. Love this wine. — 5 months ago

Château Laroze

Famille Meslin St. Émilion Grand Cru Merlot Blend 2016

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.
Abv. 13,5%.
