2021 Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf-du-Pape La Crau [WA95][WS95][V93-95]

Producer: Domaine du Vieux Region: Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France Blend: Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and CinsaultYear: 2021    Wine Advocate, 95 Points  "Delicate aromas of spices, licorice, garrigue, dark berries and dark cherries preface the 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape La Crau, a medium to full-bodied, layered and textured Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It is framed around velvety, elegant tannins, with good depth at the core and a pure, precise texture that segues into a long, delicate and ethereal finish. Superb! (YC)"  Wine Spectator, 95 Points  "An alluring perfume of red currant and dried cherry is followed by earth tones of warm chestnut, wet leaves, brown bread and pepper, all built upon a plank of solid iron. There's a bloody, meaty edge to the palate, which is still tightly wound up by fine, persistent tannins. Incense smoke and mineral notes bounce along the lengthy finish. Elegant in spite of its weight and stature. Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault. Drink now throug
