The 2016 Couvent des Jacobins (82% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot) offers a deep ruby color as well as a moderately intense nose of black cherries, damp earth, chocolate, and some gravelly minerality. With subtle oak (it was raised in 45% new oak), beautiful density and depth of fruit, and good acidity, it's a classic 2016 that will benefit from short-term cellaring.
