One of the more upfront, downright sexy vintages for this cuvee, the 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul has been firing on all cylinders for about a decade now. Giving up terrific notes of spice-box, cured meats, garrigue and mature Grenache fruit, this beauty is full-bodied, rich, concentrated and mouth filling, with serious amounts of fruit and texture... eRobertParker.com

Wow as expected. Great wine, great vintage. Loads of dark leather and tobacco mixed with dull red fruit. Perfect with ribs.

Lovely earthy manifestation of this wine. Very enjoyable with several hours of air, though less so prior to that.

Smoky, bright, and unapologetically explosive. A guilty pleasure wine and I'm not ashamed at all!
