Telegramme 2007 Chateauneuf-Du-Pape

WA 90pts. - According to Robert Parker: Vieux Telegraphe’s second wine, from what they call 'young' vines (under 30 years of age), is called Telegramme. The label is one of the more intriguing, provocative wine labels in the world; I will say no more. The 2007 Telegramme Chateauneuf du Pape offers beautiful notes of sweet black cherries, licorice, and spice, medium to full body, a broad texture, and a sweet character from the high glycerin and ripeness. Drink this beauty over the next 10-12 years. According to the Wine Spectator: A fresh, pure, silky style, with red currant, licorice and shiso leaf notes gliding over the long, supple, minerally finish. Textbook for the vintage, with the fruit and minerality stretching out at the end. Drink now through 2017. 4,000 cases made.
