Tasting notes
Some mushroom and beef stock with earthy nuances. An older example of a wine that has leather and dark mahogany with some dark plum and very ripe cherries, too. Saline, punchy and assertive. Drink now.

A consistently delicious example of Vieux-Telegraphe, this spicy, fruity, exuberant, flamboyant wine is full-bodied, juicy, and succulent. Although it lacks the extra dimension of flavor and complexity necessary to merit an outstanding score, it consistently provides a pleasing, mouthfilling glass of textbook Vieux-Telegraphe. Drink it over the next 2-3 years. Vieux-Telegraphe's wines are imported by Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524
