Characteristics and tasting advice for the Couvent des Jacobins 2013

Tasting

Nose
Gourmet and fruity, the nose is pleasantly surprising with a woody touch evolving towards toasted notes of vanilla and Zan, contrasting with a slight freshness.

Palate
On the palate, the silky wine with delicate tannins is balanced by aromas of ripe red fruits (candied strawberry, fresh blackcurrant). Then come lovely toasted notes enveloping the dense tannins), thus giving a flattering and racy wine..
