"The Jadot Clos St. Jacques vines are now fully fifty years of age and they certainly picked an outstanding vintage with 2010 to celebrate their “golden anniversary”. The bouquet is flat out stunning, offering up a very pure and primary blend of sappy black cherries, cassis, grilled meat, woodsmoke, espresso and a magically complex base of soil. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very elegant on the attack, with a sappy core, beautiful soil inflection, glorious complexity and plenty of suave tannins perking up the very, very long and tangy finish. A brilliant wine." John Gilman, View From the Cellar, Nov/Dec 2011, Issue #36 |
