Notes:

The 2012 Clos des Ursules is another superb bottle in the making, with the depth andpurity of the vintage very much in evidence in its superb bouquet of cassis, black cherries, atouch of plumminess, a very complex base of soil tones, cocoa and a gentle base of new wood.On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and shows superb mid-palate depth, with a finechassis of ripe, well-integrated tannins, excellent focus and grip and a long, nascently complexfinish. Fine juice. 2023-2060. John Gilman 93+.
