Chateauneuf du Pape Mon Aieul Pierre Usseglio(2006)

Saturated ruby. Explosive aromas of blackberry, cherry and licorice, along with an intense floral note. Impressively fleshy and mouthfilling, with dense, sweet red and dark berry flavors, a subtle garrigue quality and supple tannins. Lush, creamy and extremely long on the finish

"The 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Mon Aieul is one of the vintages most majestic wines. Again, a blend of 95% old vine Grenache intermixed with 5% Syrah aged totally in tank, the wine has remarkable density, an inky bluish/purple color, and a fabulously multi-dimensional, fleshy mouthfeel with tremendous purity and depth. It displays a glorious nose of seaweed, licorice, blueberry, blackberry, sweet cherry, and lavender. A candidate for wine of the vintage, this full-bodied wine of extraordinary intensity is a true Chateauneuf du Pape elixir, will be very approachable when released next read more...
