Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils – Cuvée de Mon Aïeul – 2019
Châteauneuf du Pape

France,
Rhone Valley,
Inky dark garnet core and hue. Ripe and intense nose combining fresh garrigue, pepper and lavender notes with sweet plum, raspberry, cassis and some earthy truffle notes. Tremendous concentration and power on the palate, a fine backbone of tannin adds a good notion of freshness, layers of sweet red fruit, pepper, garrigue and a very long muscular finish. Good nuance and complexity already but should improve a lot over the next coming 10 years.
