Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée de Mon Aieul 2005 Pierre Usseglio

This wine is part of an Exclusive Parcel secured through our Fine Wine Centre. This hugely concentrated, muscular wine is very powerful, excruciatingly tannic at present, but super-rich. It is certainly a terrific Mon Aieul, but for those who are very patient. 94+ points. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate.
