Vieux Telegraphe - Chateauneuf du Pape La Crau 2017 375ml

"Full shimmering ruby. A complex, highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe boysenberry, Chambord and Asian spices, and a sexy floral nuance gains strength with air. Sweet seamless on the palate, displaying a suave blend of power and delicacy to the concentrated red and blue fruit, lavender pastille and spicecake flavors. Shows impressive energy and a mineral quality on the gently tannic, penetrating finish, which hangs on with strong, floral-driven tenacity." 94-95 Points. Josh Raynolds, Vinous (December, 2019)

"Steeped red currant, plum and raspberry fruit spays out, while light lavender, black tea and singed juniper accents fill in. A juniper thread laces up the finish, lending definition while the fruit pumps through. Best from 2022 through 2040." 94 points. James Molesworth, Wine Spectator (February, 2020)
