WINEMAKER'S NOTE
The Vieux Telegraphe Rouge invariably has a beautiful color, an earthy nose, but one of freshness, lively and promising. One finds freshness in the mouth, nervy and lightly mentholated. At the same time, it is suave and rich on the finish. The tannins are supple and ripe with no dryness. The end of the tasting is very clean and woody, rich with a light licorice taste.With its structure and complexity this red wine will go well with game, lamb or risotto with wild mushrooms cooked in a red win...
