Chateauneuf du Pape 2006

Along with a dark, almost opaque color, the 2006 Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils Châteauneuf-du-Pape possesses a big nose of dark fruit, licorice and subtle spice notes. Rich and dense but slightly straightforward. This improves with air and is full bodied on the palate with ripe, lush fruit, a big mouth filling texture and gobs of sweet fruit on the tannic finish.

Score: 92
