The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve des Deux Freres is probably the softest most forward and evolved wine the Usseglios have made under this designation. Luscious with loads of fig black cherry jam camphor and licorice-infused blackberry notes the wine is concentrated rich and while still primary capable of lasting 15-20 years. It is certainly the most seductive and early drinking Reserve des Deux Freres produced to date and finished at 15.5% natural alcohol. 94+ Robert Parkers Wine A

This has a touch more muscle and drive than many of its peers with smoldering tobacco and dark espresso notes leading the way for a core of crushed plum braised fig and steeped black currant notes. The long finish has lots of iron-tinged grip. Best from 2012 through 2023. -JM Wine Spectator.
