Tasted at The James Restaurant, Geneva (IL). Dark Ruby colored, medium-full bodied, classic brambly red and black raspberry and plum fruits with notes of gariggue, floral and spice from the Grenache, with hints of smoke and pepper on the moderate long, rich, ripe tannin finish.
A 2nd wine from Vieux Telegraphe. Mainly Grenache with Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault from mostly young vines but it does include grapes from 45 year old vines at Château La Roquette. From.a 375ml bottle. Burnt red color. Not decanted. Light sediment. Solid tannins with notes of rip black berries, leather and clover. 90 points.

Classic Chateauneuf-du-Page. Dark cherry red color in the glass with expressive aromas after opening the bottle. Decant for 45 min before tasting. On the palate, very pleasant medium bodied wine with red fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries and a hint of leather. Excellent acidity with smooth lingering finish.

Earthy and slightly tart - very light on the mouth and a pinch of heat. Very nice wine; after an hour started to soften.
