Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape (La Crau) 2023

Sophisticated and engaging combination of accents and textures, with a dominant character of pepper and leather that adds richness and sophistication to the all around experience.

Rich, full-bodied Chateauneuf-du-Pape with complex, intense flavors. The wine is highlighted by layers of dense chocolate, white pepper, plum, and dried fruit, with a savory shade of leather and moss. As the wine ages, it reveals additional tastes of smoked meats and a elegant smokiness. The trail is long and lingering, with a dry, medium-high acidity and a medium tannin level. This is a truly remarkable wine, one that will only improve with age. A true classic.

Subtle and graceful Chateauneuf-du-Pape, with a concentrated and supple texture. The fruit is ripe and luscious, with a medley of currants, cherries, and plums that are expertly balanced. The earthy undertones are elevated by the sweetness of chocolate and vanilla, during a soft warmth of spices and dried flowers adds intensity and complexity.
