2011 Domaine du Vieux Telegraph “Telegramme” Chateauneuf du Pape 375ml half bottle

Critical acclaim:

“90 points.

“With up-front blackberry, tobacco leaf, licorice and olive tapenade, the 2011 Telegramme Chateauneuf du Pape (70% Grenache and the balance Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault, aged all in foudre) is medium-bodied, soft and supple, with sweet fruit and solid freshness. It, too, is a rock-solid drinker that has plenty of character. Located in the southeastern part of Chateauneuf du Pape and located mainly on the prime La Crau plateau, this classic and traditional estate has been run by the Brunier family for generations. Now managed by brothers Daniel and Frederic, the estate continues to churn out a range of high class wines.” – Jeb Dunnuck

It drinks great right now. Nine year old half bottle? Perfect.
