Chateauneuf du Pape 1996 - Pierre Usseglio
Domaine Pierre Usseglio et Fils
Note : 89/100 Wine Spectator
When to drink this wine?: Perhaps now.
Its dark ruby color heralds a beautiful aromatic intensity, marked by generous notes of black cherry and ripe raspberry, enhanced by accents of pepper, iodine, and undergrowth. On the palate, this is a full-bodied, powerful, and concentrated wine, which immediately displays a rich fruitiness and a beautiful smoothness. The wine's tannic structure and backbone are then revealed, adding depth.
