2007 Pierre Usseglio et Fils Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve Deux Freres

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 100 points

One of the wines of this incredible vintage is unquestionably the 300-case 2007 Châteauneuf du Pape Reserve des Deux Freres from the Usseglio brothers. A big bruiser of a wine that has a huge core of cassis and black currant fruit, it gets more and more elegant with time in the glass and offers complex notes of roasted meats, garrigue, beef blood, licorice and truffle. Made from 100% Grenache aged mostly in new barrels, it's absorbed every trace of its elevage and is just a sensational Chateauneuf du Pape to drink over the coming 10-15 years.
