Community Tasting Note

  December 7, 2018 - Just decided to open it since waiting for that long is not worth it. Pretty nice wine but definitely not ready at all! I would not recommend drinking any CdP younger than 10 years. Better 15.

  12/8/18, 10:14 PM - I enjoyed your comments on this wine. My feeling is wait until age 10 to open any Vieux Telegraphe, unless it’s a very ripe vintage. You will find out the following:
  1. You’re screwed. It’s a very ripe vintage best enjoyed young (think 2006 or 2007.) The wine is now plummy and will become pruny. Why did you wait so long?
  2. It’s a cool, classic vintage (1999, 2004 or 2008.) Enjoy! The wine is beautiful now and will remain so for at least a decade.
  3. Hmm. Not ready (1998, 2001, or 2005.) This wine won’t start opening up until age 15 but within a few years after that will be just amazing.
