Score 86/100 · Drink 2010-2014, Robert Parker, Oct 2010

One of the few Chateauneuf du Pape estates to produce a second wine (a la most Bordeaux chateaux), Vieux Telegraphe's 2008 Telegramme Chateauneuf du Pape (100% Grenache) is a delicious, up-front, fruity, medium-bodied, soft effort displaying lots of herb-tinged strawberry and kirsch characteristics. It should drink well for 3-4 years. Bistros, brasseries and consumers looking for an easygoing, quaffing wine should check out the Bruniers- Le Pigoulet, which Daniel Brunier calls a -retro- style of wine (meaning that in the age of power and generosity, this is a lighter, more elegant, fruity, earthy effort meant for immediate consumption).

Blackberries, vanilla, meat, bacon, spices, tactile tannins that have a rubbery grip without being intrusive. Lovely. (RH)

Much more open and fruity than the La Crau, the 2008 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Télégramme is filled with juicy bing cherry and raspberry fruit, spice, and a touch of flowers. Medium bodied, generous and supple, this will be delicious over the next 4 to 6 years.

Bright red. Spicy red berries and cherry on the nose. Lively, tightly knit red fruit flavors are given depth by a hint of cola and framed by silky tannins. Taut and linear in a pinot way, finishing with good clarity and spiciness.
