Vieux Télégraphe Chateauneuf du Pape 2008

The Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau 2008 was slightly closed and tight when I tasted it, which left me a little unsure about the wine. Nevertheless, the wine is a blend of 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre and 5% Cinsault and shows solid fruit with a touch of rolled stone, garrigue and licorice. Closed on the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with a tight, nervous texture, moderate concentration and good length on the finish... Jeb Dunnuck
