"The 2011 Moulin-à-Vent “Clos du Grand Carquelin” from Château des Jacques is outstanding and should prove to be one of the longest-lived and finest of the wines from this vintage. The deep, pure and youthful nose jumps from the glass in a blaze of black cherries, sappy red berries, a very complex base of soil, a touch of coffee, juniper berry, gentle smoky overtones, fresh herbs and a stylish framing of cedar. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and quite tightly-knit, with ripe, well-integrated tannins, lovely focus and outstanding length and grip on the very well-balanced and transparent finish."
