2004 Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee de mon Aieul (750ml)

"94 out of 100 - There was no Reserve des Deux Frères made in 2004, so the 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul received all of the top grapes. Still youthful and lively, with less density and depth than the '03, it offers classic notes of garrigue, mushrooms, olives, dried spice, kirsch and blackberry. Full-bodied and concentrated, especially in the vintage, it has plenty of sweet fruit, fine tannin and a great finish. There's a lot of similarities here to the '99, and I expect it will evolve similarly." - Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate
