Vieux Papes

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 1989

[Kermit Lynch Import Version] This seems very youthful still, dried redfruits, rich and showing power and weight, long finish, very fine 35-year-old CdP that seems to be still on the ascent, excellent! — 11 days ago

La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Clairette Blend 2006

Waxy, nutty and floral. Clearly mature, yet there are still some deep yellow fruit notes (dried apricot, papaya, baked apple) left. Also hints of vanilla, honeycomb and pumpkin-spice latte.
Really nice.

Over three years since I opened up the first bottle. Still young-ish but much easier to drink after a quick decant of half an hour. All the typical scents and taste of C9DP. Very balanced. Clearly from a warm climate but retaining ample freshness. Like it a lot. Hope I can keep my hands off it in the coming years to check in on the remaining bottles every couple of years — 2 months ago
