Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Clairette Blend 2016

Notes from December 2022 still apply. Pale to mid lemon in colour. Aromas of apple pie this time around. A medium to full bodied white - a note of rockmelon (cantaloupe) a good white for winter - Medium minus acid with good length. Drinking at its peak. — 16 days ago

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2003

Liked this one quite a bit. Showing off the Grenache more and makes for a different experience for older Beaucastels. — 9 days ago

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2000

Delicious even though it’s past its prime. Richer than other CDP. Nice aroma and a well balanced palate. Gentle and subtle but very tasty. Definitely get more! — 8 days ago

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2004

Gorgeous, traditional and generous.
Not too sweet, not too rustic; right in the middle 🎯
Soft notes of plums, black cherries, beefstew, garrigue, brown spices and a whiff of hearty umami nuances like porcini, sundried tomatoes and vegemite/soysauce.
Well balanced, medium bodied and full of detail and finesse. Great stuff.

Télégramme Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2015

See previous note from 45 weeks ago. Before tasting this we had finished off the last of a Guigal Côtes du Rhône. The Telegramme was like a CdR with more mid palate fruit, more tar, more savoury and more power. A good but not great wine. — 22 days ago
