Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe 2000

Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceBig barnyard, pepper and earth nose with mushroom and gamey cherry kirsch aromas. It's richer and more concentrated than the 1999 version with ripe cherry and plum fruit flavours mixed with mineral, peppery, spicy flavours. A bit higher acidity with very ripe, smooth tannins and a long smoky, plum, licorice, spicy finish. Should be excellent in a decade's time but it will be approachable sooner.Tasted: 09 May 2002Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:
