Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieux Télégraphe 2007 presents a deep ruby color in the glass. Aromas of ripe red fruit, dried herbs, and a hint of earthiness emerge, accompanied by notes of leather and pepper. On the palate, it reveals a medium to full body with firm tannins and balanced acidity. Flavours of dark cherries and plums develop, layered with subtle spices and a touch of minerality.

Founded in 1891, Vieux Télégraphe is known for its traditional winemaking methods and estate-grown grapes from the esteemed La Crau plateau. The 2007 vintage benefits from optimal growing conditions, resulting in wines with excellent complexity and maturity. This wine typically comprises Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, showcasing the region`s unique terroir and highlighting the aging potential of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

The 2007 Vieux Telegraphe may be the greatest wine made at this property since the 2005 and 1998. Dense ruby/purple-tinged with an exquisite nose of salty sea breezes, licorice, ground pepper, jammy black cherries, black currants, figs, and plums, this is a full-bodied, rich, Provencal-styled offering with lots of sweet, ripe tannin. It is surprisingly accessible for a Vieux Telegraphe (this wine normally shuts down several years after bottling), but it should have great longevity (25+ years) given its power, full-bodied mouthfeel, and enormous length and richness. This is a brilliant effort from brothers Frederic and Daniel Brunier.

Glass-staining ruby. Highly pungent bouquet offers black fruit compote, olive and floral qualities, along with a slightly high-toned quality that recedes with air. The palate-coating, deeply concentrated cassis and blackberry flavors display a slow-mounting spiciness. Pretty powerful for a wine from this estate, showing more heft and dark fruit character than usual. The finish is broad, velvety and impressively persistent. Long-time fans of this property's usually elegant style might not be over the moon for this wine's virility. (Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley CAJosh Raynolds1st January 2010
