Châteauneuf-du Pape, Mon Aieul--Vintage 2000
Rhône, Usseglio
"The profound 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul (85 Grenache and the rest equal parts Syrah, Mourvedre, and Cinsault) tips the scales at 15 alcohol. From an old vineyard and cropped at 15 hectoliters per hectare, and aged only in foudre, it boasts a dense purple color in addition to an exquisite nose of violets, minerals, blueberries and blackberries. Pure and concentrated, but atypically tannic, it requires considerable aging as it is one of the vintage's more backward, broodingly powerful efforts. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2020." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #145 (Feb 2003)
