    August 18, 2023 - Nose: fresh cherries and blackberries in combination with meadow flowers and a little mint ( pleasant)
    Palete: great balance, tannins smooth and fresh fruits with floral tones and dry herb de Provence. Long medium bodied finish!

    Great experience

    March 22, 2022 - Light and past it's prime. Drank over the evening before and after decanting and never changed.

    July 16, 2020 - Pretty wine with a lively palate, some ash, red currant and plum. Somewhat astringent on the back end, but enjoyable

    June 3, 2020 - Dark purple center, fading to ruby near the glass with slight bricking. Fireplace and cedar on the nose. Decanted 30 minutes. Savory and earthy notes, with slightly faded prunish dark fruits and gobs of minerals. Lacks vibrancy. Flavors are interesting but I wouldn't call them delicious. Drink soon.

    October 21, 2018 - The nose is all plum jam at this point. The fruit on the palate has dulled a bit but there is still plenty of texture and just enough acidity to keep things interesting. I'd drink now or in the next 2 years max.

    (TELEGRAMME Vieux Telegraphe) 2007 Vieux Telegraphe Dear Friends, This wine represents exemplary price/value in 2007 Chateauneuf-du-Pape and, while a more silken style than the grand vin, it has a distinct chance to be as good as the 2007 Le Crau. As far as "bargain" examples from top estates, the 2007 Telegramme is right up there and it will be enjoyed by those who favor the Cote de Nuits as well as the Rhone. I'm not sure the powers that be realized how good the 2007 Telegramme was until it was almost in the bottle but I'm quite sure they never intended it to upstage their top wine - in April 2009, it is debatable which is the superior wine. Ultimately, the comparison is a moot point as both wines stand on their own in 2007 as top entrants in a crowded field. We have one shipment of this wine at a terrific price: VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for the tariff and vintage (if we run out, we will have a second shipment in September - I realize it is more but I can't get an additional parcel at today's price): 2007 Vieux Telegraphe "Le Telegramme" Chateauneuf-du-Pape It will ship during the fall shipping season. Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Rhone6730
