And the in laws have gone, so to celebrate their visit (or their leaving), why not some VT on pizza mundo? Drinking very well, wow. One of Kermit’s observations was VT would still be doing the boogie, when other CDP’s had left the dance floor, and so it is! Absolutely lovely bottle of Vieux Telegraph, Yum!

Initially very muted and simple, it gained considerable steam with air, eventually showing leather and tobacco notes that added complexity and intrigue. Pleasant, although a step behind the 1984 drank alongside.

Bearing in mind it was a poor lightweight vintage, it was fairly cloudy and almost brown I was staggered as to how good this wine still was. First taste was very unVT like as rather chunky and full bodied but after a short while it all toned down and the rustic fruit and structure were excellent. Did not deteriorate in the glass and was most enjoyable. One of the most unexpected results from the initial anticipation. Really good.
It is interesting that the three highest marks given have been in the last couple of years!

Past it’s best. But just about drinkable.
