CDP Vieux Télégraphe, Vignobles Brunier Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe 2008

Tasting Notes

Still tight, with the core of cherry and red currant fruit held in check by a mix of lightly firm sandalwood, spice, licorice root and warm stone flavors. Mulled fig and cocoa notes check in on the grippy finish. A rare backward style 2008 that will need some cellaring to round into form. Best from 2013 through 2020. 12,200 cases made

Pale to mid ruby. Some animal notes. Racy and gritty. Real punch here. And quite a bit of alcohol on the finish.
