Score 91/100 · Drink 2024-2030, Jeb Dunnuck, Apr 2024

Ripe black fruits, sweet black cherries, leather, savory herbs, chocolate, and earthy nuances all emerge from the 2005 Clos Des Jacobins, a medium-bodied, classic, complex, incredibly satisfying effort. It's drinking beautifully today yet should keep through 2030 with ease.

Score 92/100 · Drink 2022-2038, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux, Jun 2022

Plenty to enjoy here, a good example of how the vintage is now relaxing its tannic grip and allowing estates to showcase their character, because nothing is pushed too excess. This is a welcoming, easy to enjoy, nuanced and complex St Emilion with the 90% new oak is now well integrated. Consultant Hubert de Boüard. 35hl/h yield.

Score 89/100 · Drink 2015-2028, Robert Parker, Jun 2015

This is a fruit-driven, medium to full-bodied St.-Emilion, with a dark ruby/purple color, ripe plum and black cherry fruit, good spice and earthiness. This 2005 represents the beginning of the resurrection of this famous estate, which was once owned by the huge Cordier firm, but now produces wine under the auspices of the brilliant consultant Hubert de Boüard. Anticipated maturity: now-2028
