Vieux Telegraphe, Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2007

Deep red.

Vinturi - deep, refined, nose - vibrant red cherry, nut liqueur (Amaretto?), earth and a medicinal nuance. All of this discreet and fine. Subtle vanilla (stems?) late. Beautiful, killer.

Round and suave, with restrained textural sweetness. Kirsch, earth and garrigue - intense and measured. Serious acid/tannin synergy amplifies finishing flavors. I haven't tasted a VT this refined and loaded. Worth the $$$.
