Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul 2005 Pierre Usseglio

Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (94)

Showing superb Grenache character, the 2005 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aïeul offers tons of charm in its kirsch, jammy blackberry, spice, licorice and underbrush-scented bouquet. This flows to a full-bodied, focused and elegant version of this cuvee that has fine tannin, good concentration and fabulous purity. While not hitting the heights of the 2003, 2007 or 2010, it’s a textbook example of this cuvee that will have 20-25 years of overall longevity.

Shows the great embedded structure of the vintage, with a strong graphite undertow pushing the layers of blackberry, boysenberry and plum fruit, while additional sweet spice, mocha and bittersweet cocoa notes fill in the background. Packed with fruit and terroir, with a gorgeous mouthfeel.
