James Suckling 96 pts!  A big, rounded and generous wine that wraps fine-grained tannins around gorgeous red and black fruit on a full body. Clos des Ursules is a monople of Jadot’s and one of the vineyards they have used for generations. Opens with spicy cinnamon, cloves and toast, then vivid raspberries, red plums and mint on the palate. Drink or hold.

Jasper Morris 93-95 pts! Fresh purple of medium depth. Much the liveliest bouquet with its concentration of raspberries, very complete and absolutely delicious. The finish continues gorgeously, this will make a beautiful bottle with a little patience. This Clos des Ursules shows the classic peacock’s fantail of aromatics.

Burghound 92 pts! Here the elegant and wonderfully spicy nose offers up its layered blend of ripe red berries, soft earth and hint of oak. The rich and beautifully textured middle weight flavors are blessed with refined tannins and fine length on the youthfully austere and sneaky long finish. This is lovely and sufficiently firm to reward up to a decade of keeping. (Drink starting 2032)
