2003 Pierre Usseglio & Fils Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve des Deux Freres WS--93

Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Score: 93 Release Price: $220 Current Auction Price: $142 Country: France Region: Southern Rhone Issue: Nov 15, 2005 Toast dominates right now, though this has alluring spice, black cherry, mocha and plum sauce flavors followed by a long, vibrant, minerally finish. Beautifully sculpted and has lots in reserve, but seems more like power for power's sake, with the toast really dominant. The Cuvee de mon Aieul is the smart buy. Best from 2007 through 2020. 500 cases made.--JM
