Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2009 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. "A deep ruby/plum colour is followed by a big, sweet nose of boysenberries, raspberries, licoricey, nori seaweed wrap, black currants and earth. Full-bodied, with beautiful texture, purity, depth and power, the 2009 is a notch behind the extraordinary 2007, but it is unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage. It should drink well for 20+ years." Robert Parker, 2010
A super showing for this wine, the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape is meaty and intense, with black olives and black cherries equally sharing the spotlight. Full-bodied, rich and velvety, with a long finish, it may be just a bit coarse in texture, but it delivers happiness in the glass. Drink now or hold; it should drink well for at least another decade.Joe Czerwinski30th August 2019

(65% grenache, 15% each of mourvedre and syrah, and the rest all the other varieties; aged in a combination of foudres and concrete): Bright ruby. Intense red fruit and potpourri aromas show excellent precision and a suave, spicy character. Licorice and lavender nuances add complexity to juicy raspberry and bitter cherry flavors, with the wine putting on weight in the glass. Finishes taut and youthfully tangy, with echoing licorice and spice notes.Josh Raynolds1st January 2012
