The 2016 Clos des Jacobins is rich, powerful and explosive. Savory herbs, graphite, smoke, leather and licorice make a strong opening statement, Powerful and deeply resonant, in the glass, the 2016 packs a serious punch. New oak is quite prominent today, but this is nevertheless an impressive effort. This is an especially rich, extracted style. Even so, all the elements are nicely balanced. Tasted two times.
