International Wine Cellar Author: Josh Raynolds Issue: Issue 124

($80) Deep, bright, violet-tinged color. Powerful scents of kirsch, roasted coffee, bitter chocolate, bacon fat and candied violet. Fabulously rich and concentrated, with densely packed but pure and precise flavors of berries, plum, cherry cola, floral pastille and charred meat. This sees only 5% oak. Finishes ripe and thick, with very persistent roasted berry flavors.

Wine Advocate Author: Robert Parker Issue: 163

One of the vintage's most profound wines, the 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul has a dense purple color as well as a glorious nose of blackberries, licorice, smoke, and some roasted meats and dried herbs. Amazingly opulent, even voluptuous, with extraordinary purity, a huge tactile impression on the palate, but not heavy by any means, this is a stunning Chateauneuf du Pape from ancient vines made with 95% Grenache and the rest Cinsault and Syrah. Production is about 8,000 bottles, and the wine is bottled after spending its entire life in epoxy-lined tanks, so what one gets is the essence of the three separate terroirs it comes from - Les Serres, Guigasse, and La Crau.

Wine Spectator Author: James Molesworth

Really silky for an '03, with gorgeous raspberry ganache and cassis fruit that glides atop grilled herb, mineral and tar flavors. Long, authoritative finish shows lots of grip and fruit. A powerful yet racy wine. This really rocks. 1,000 cases made.

Nice CdP with a musky fruit nose and a full palate -pervading finish. Drinking very well right now.

certainly a terrific wine but 100pts? a modern interpretation of CDP--less structured than I would have liked--preferred the Linne Calodo S&S this night
