2005 Pierre Usseglio Chateauneuf-du-Pape Reserve Des Deux Freres

Tasting Note:

The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve des Deux Freres which is aged in one- two- and three-year-old small barrels and larger demi-muids is 100% Grenache in 2005. Dense purple to the rim the wine displays superb concentration with notes of creosote blackberry coffee pepper earth meats and smoke. A wine of massive intensity fabulous purity and a thick unctuous texture the tannins do kick in at the end so this wine will probably require 5-7 years of bottle age and drink well for close to three decades. It does have the requisite concentration to balance out the wine_s structure. Source: Wine Advocate
