"The ’96 Jadot Clos St. Jacques is a fair bit more backward than the Estournelles St. Jacques, but it also shows an extra dimension on both the nose and palate in comparison to that very good wine. The bouquet is deep, complex and very classy in its mélange of black cherries, dark berries, a touch of mint, woodsmoke, incipient grilled meats, espresso and a profoundly complex base of black minerality. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very intensely flavored, with a rock solid core of fruit, excellent focus and balance, moderate tannins, tangy acids and simply superb length and grip on the still fairly primary finish. A fine, fine wine in the making . . ."
