HED82451 75cl 14.5%
Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2012 is a full-bodied blended red wine from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the southern Rhône Valley. Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe is a name synonymous with fine, age-worthy Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which has owned and run by the Brunier family for more than a century. The flagship Vieux Télégraph Châteauneuf-du-Pape cuvée is a blend of 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre and 5% Cinsault plus other local grape varieties, all from vineyards aged 65 years or more. "Rock-solid, with a hefty core of fig, blackberry and black cherry fruit, wrapped in chestnut and tobacco leaf notes and carrying through a lavender- and tar-framed finish. Dense and grippy, showing a slightly old-school shading." Wine Spectator, 2014
- Opaque ruby. An intensely perfumed bouquet evokes spicy dark berries and potpourri, with zesty mineral and incense qualities adding complexity. Pliant boysenberry and candied lavender flavors are impressively fresh and focused, with a hint of licorice adding depth. Closes sweet, supple and broad, with resonating spiciness and gentle tannins that add shape and grip.
