Tasting notes
Bright ruby. Ripe cherry and raspberry on the perfumed nose gain lift and spice from a peppery quality. Juicy and smooth on the palate, offering gently sweet red fruit and floral pastille flavors and a hint of succulent herbs. Shows good energy on the supple finish, which is framed by fine-grained tannins and lifted by tangy acidity.

The 2013 Telegramme Châteauneuf du Pape is a fruity, elegant and forward red that gives up notions of sweet cherry and blackberry fruits, dried spice and hints of flowers. Ready to go, lightly textured and medium-bodied, it’s best drunk up over the coming 4-5 years.
Vivid ruby. High-pitched red fruit and floral scents are complicated by hints of allspice and smoky minerals. Silky and seamless in the mouth, offering gently sweet raspberry and cherry flavors and a touch of star anise. Lithe, spicy and focused, finishing with strong cut and no excess fat.
