🏅 Jeb Dunnuck 96-98分：

As with the Cuvée de mon Aïeul, the final blendis yet to have been made, so I was able to taste through 4 separate samples ofthe 2009 Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve des Deux Frères. Certainly, how the blend is made will dictate the final wine, butif raw components count for anything, this will be a monumental wine. As always, this cuvee sees the most new barrique but unlike vintages prior to ’05,the cuvee does not see any press wine. Despite the new barrique, none of thesamples showed overt wood and the fruit was stunning.

🏅 Vinous 95分：

Bright violet color. Wildly complex scents of black raspberry, cherry compote, sassafras, allspice and licorice. Lush andpalate-staining, with noteworthy intensity to its open-knit dark berry,spicecake and floral pastille flavors. Silky tannins come on late and meld smoothly with the deep, sappy fruit, which refuses to let go of the palate. Iunderestimated this powerful, vibrant wine last year.

🏅 Wine Advocate 94+分： 

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.

🏅 Wine Spectator 93分：

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.
