But there is nothing blunt about them and there is ample mineral infusion and freshness

Couvent des Jacobins, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2016 Mount Peak Winery But there is nothing bluntThe Couvent des Jacobins has an attractive bouquet with blackberry, brown spices and a touch of game. Perhaps there is just a tiny bit of brettanomyces in this sample? The palate is medium bodied with grainy tannin, crisp acidity, a little pinched on the mid palate with a structured finish.
