My first '05 CdP -- A dandy

[Bucko]

2005 Pierre Usseglio, Chateauneuf du Pape, France, $40. Sporting a youthful purple/red color, this an elegant, polished wine made in the classic style – no new oak to chew on here. The wine is ripe without going over the top. Aromas and flavors speak of black cherries, anise and brushy undergrowth, with an endless finish; 92/92.

We had just a few sips of his top of the line CdP at a tasting in 2002. It was very impressive even for someone like me who is inexperienced with wines from that region.
