Description

'The 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul (10,000 bottles produced) has closed down since bottling. It is a dense purple-colored, concentrated effort made from incredibly low yields of 15-20 hectoliters per hectare from 80-year old vines. A blend of 95% Grenache and 5% Cinsault, this tannic, backward, blockbuster vin de garde should open in 4-5 years, and last for two decades. It is an extracted, dense, atypically powerful 1999.'
91 points - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

From Cellar-Tracker.com
'Tasted by Paul S on 12/31/2010 & rated 93 points: I really liked this - I think the lightness of the vintage suited the wine very well, so this turned out to be a nice fresh, slightly lighter-stepping Mon Aieul. 95% Grenache and 5% Cinsault, it started out with a deep leathery nose with lots of meaty funk, to go along a healthy dose of ripe cassis fruit scents and a layer of earthy sous bois notes. With time, the funk goes down slightly, and the wine showed primarily savoury meat, wet earth and sweet dark fruit scents spiked with a little touch of tobacco. Pretty decent introduction to the wine I thought, but I preferred the palate somewhat. Rather modern maybe, but it was quite clearly CdP. Again, lots of meaty animale notes on the attack, but this ceded the stage quickly to nice pure sappy red cherry flavours seasoned with incense, garrigue and peppery spice, all laced through with really fresh, juicy acidity and supported by fine, almost silky tannins. It had a nice fresh finish too, with black tea notes alongside a hint of dried grapes and dark plums. Not the richest vintage, but I really liked the freshness and liveliness on this. Probably at a good place to drink with a little decanting too. (992 views)'
