Tasting Notes

Vinous Nicolas Greinacher - 01 Nov 25
The 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau is spot-on. Pronounced licorice, forest floor, tobacco, blackberry jam and a nuance of garrigue are all pushed forward. Powerful and savory, the 2010 is a full-bodied, seriously structured Vieux Télégraphe that’s built for the long haul. Give it four more years to start revealing its full potential.
