2000 Pierre Usseglio Chateauneuf-du-Pape de Mon Aieul
Tasting Note:
The profound 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul (85% Grenache and the rest equal parts Syrah Mourvedre and Cinsault) tips the scales at 15% alcohol. From an old vineyard and cropped at 15 hectoliters per hectare and aged only in foudre it boasts a dense purple color in addition to an exquisite nose of violets minerals blueberries and blackberries. Pure and concentrated but atypically tannic it requires considerable aging as it is one of the vintages more backward broodingly powerful efforts. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2020.
