As with many other chateaux in the outstanding 2005 Bordeaux vintage,Clos des Jacobins produced probably their finest wine ever (see RP tasting notes below).
"This is surely Bordeaux's best vintage of the century so far.The 2005s were always chock full of everything - fruit,acidity,colour,and tannin".
Jancis Robinson MW. (Financial Times. 14/2/2015).
"Dark in colour,almost black.Aromas of raisin,spices and blackberry follow through to a full-body,with chewy tannins and a long,powerful finish.Has loads of fruit and toasty oak.This is exciting.A new 1947?".

James Suckling. (The Wine Spectator. March 2008).
"This may be the finest wine I have ever tasted from Clos des Jacobins.Proprietor Bernard Decoster and consulting winemaker Hubert de Bouard have fashioned a magical blend of 75% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc as well as a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon.An opulent,flamboyant nose of incense,forest floor,creme de cassis,pain grille,cappuccino,and licorice is followed by a fleshy,opulent,heady,atypically showy St.Emilion.Although there is plenty of sweet tannin,the wine's precociousness and flamboyant,even ostentatious style suggests it should be drunk over the next 12-15+ years".
(91 Points).
