Nervous energy and mineral tension define this vintage. Cherry pit and red fruit flavors show admirable precision, though they need coaxing from the glass. The wine's backbone is all about cut and focus rather than power. Clean, linear finish with good length.

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

One of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's benchmark estates, Vieux Télégraphe has farmed the high La Crau plateau for generations, producing structured, age-worthy reds and whites under the Brunier family.
