This wine is dark and dense, very closed at this young stage. But wait for that rich fruit to burst out to give its intense acidity and ripeness to the wine. It's a powerhouse of flavors, spice and dark minerality. Drink from 2022.

(BH89-92 points) A note of cool menthol sits atop the equally cool and airy nose of perfumed stone, tea and various red berry fruit scents. There is a notably finer mouth feel thanks to the fine grained tannins that shape the delicious, lacy and admirably pure middle weight flavors that also exude plenty of minerality on the balanced and lingering finish. This is not as powerful or complex as the Cazetiers but for those who enjoy ample Gevrey character delivered with finesse, this would be a good choice. 2021+

92+ In contrast to the Clos des Ormes, the 2013 Estournelles St. Jacques is vibrant and a very fine example of the vintage, as the wine delivers a fine and quite classic nose of black cherries, cassis, incipient notes of meatiness, black minerality, espresso, woodsmoke and cedar. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and focused, with a fine core, suave tannins, tangy acids and a long, complex and beautifully transparent finish. This is really strong this year!
