94 Vinous
(the same juice as the last, but 30% of this cuvee is aged in new barriques; the Usseglios' grandfather began making wine in 1949) Full deep ruby. Roasted plum and blackcurrant, truffle and caramel aromas lifted by oak spice; slightly higher-pitched than the Mon Aïeul. Less voluptuous and more tightly wrapped today, but very well delineated and impressively structured. Today this is more tannic than the Mon Aïeul but every bit as long. And the new wood component manifests itself in the wine's brightness and structure, rather than in any obvious oak aromas or flavors.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2002
