Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe La Crau 1998

Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France

WineSaint
Dense and powerful at 25 years, with concentrated black fruit, leather and earthy spice building slowly in the glass. The palate shows impressive weight and structure, though the tannins remain firm and unyielding. Cherry and mineral notes emerge on the long finish, suggesting this has years ahead of it.
