Note di degustazione
The 2005 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Mon Aïeul is distinctively tertiary, perfumed with forest floor and dried strawberry. Full-bodied and concentrated, the 2005 shows a rich, flamboyant character with remarkable depth and complexity. Chalky tannins provide firm grip, and while this is showing well today, it is best to drink up.

Showing the firm, slightly masculine (even austere) edge of the vintage, the 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul offers terrific richness in its black fruits, asphalt, roasted herbs, tar and licorice. Big, full-bodied, structured and tannic, drink it anytime over the coming decade or so.

A solid showing and certainly a more restrained, structured vintage for this cuvee, the 2005 Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée de mon Aïeul shows a deep black color to go with earthy black fruits, licorice, minerals, charred herbs, and leather notes on the nose. Very dense and tight, this slowly opens with air, but still shows mostly promise at this stage. Medium to full bodied on the palate, with a smooth, seamless texture, good acidity, and a tight, structured core, this should most likely be given another 4-6 years in the cellar, at which point it should drink well for a decade after that.
