Delicious with a boeuf bourguignon - silky smooth, lovely red and blue fruit, hedgerow, forest floor and mushrooms, with a hint of spices and menthol. Mature and in its drinking window but plenty of life in it yet.

This bottle was a bit more open and generous than the bottle I had earlier this year, showing ripe red and dark fruit and some earthy and minerally notes, but not a lot of length. Still had some structure, so the wine might have a little more time ahead of it, but not sure it will improve.

Sometimes you get lucky and catch a modest bottle at its apogee, for a dazzling wine experience. Such was the '99 Jadot Ursules. Dark colored. Dense cherry and raspberry, moist earth, mushrooms, with minerals at the end of the long finish. Persistent; simply gorgeous. Bottles like this counterbalance the occasional regret of disappointing burgundies.

I messed up the cork, but the wine was clear, beautiful garnet. Burst of red fruits on the nose. Full and tall in the mouth, with very good length. Excellent bottle.

Beautiful, sweet nose of raspberry and strawberry. Slight notes of forest floor. Supple texture. Firing on all cylinders
