... Usseglio's 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul is a blockbuster and one of the true stars of this vintage... this massive, voluptuous effort is almost overflowing with notes of ground herbs, chocolate dusted meats, black fruits and licorice...beautiful purity and freshness, sweet tannin, and a great finish...utterly hedonistic beauty... eRobertParker.com

Rusty red color. Started off with a funk, but is blowing off to raspberry, spice and leather. Very refined finish.

Dark ruby with a hint of brownish red. High pitched nose offering ripe plums, herbs, and a sort of medicinal type thing. Sweet fruit and heat with not so much structure in the mouth. Over the top wine, representative of the vintage's hot weather. Not my style of CdP.
