Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe 'La Crau' Blanc Châteauneuf-Du-Pape
Wine Description
(2008 Vintage) Bright ruby. Lively, musky aromas of red berries, cherry, anise, earth and spices, augmented by hints of lavender and resin. Energetic, focused redcurrant and bitter cherry flavors show good definition and pick up minerality with air. Taut on the back end, finishing with solid grip and very good, tangy persistence. I like this wine's vivacity and balance.

Lots of high notes on the nose. Palate is even and controlled. Initial burst of cherry, subsiding in to an earthy, tannic finish. Rock solid, but another few years in the bottle certainly wouldn't hurt it.
