Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf-Du-Pape La Crau 2016

Impressive, complex array of wild cherries, raspberries, garrigue herbs, lightly spiced pastry and stony, chalky minerals. Super-fresh florals. The palate has superb texture, roundness, completeness, depth and detail. Powerful yet elegant with powdery tannins and essence-like red fruit. Super-fleshy, supple and dense core, then strong at the edges.

Layer upon layer peels away on the finish. Resounding finesse and equilibrium, showing the full potential of the plateau La Crau.
