Tasting notes
Deep red. Captivating aromas of black raspberry, wild rose, Asian spices and smoked meat. Brighter red fruits on the palate, with notes of cola and candied flowers gaining strength with air. Showing more depth, richness and warmth than last year. Finishes with very good grip and an echo of smoke.

The outstanding 2007 Telegramme Chateauneuf du Pape (15.8% alcohol) offers notes of kirsch liqueur, spring flowers, and framboise, medium to full body, good acidity, a beautiful texture, and a luscious, heady finish. It is best drunk over the next 5-6 years. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524
Vivid red. Assertive aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, fresh lavender and minerals; there's a pinot-like vibrancy here that I like. Brisk and sharply defined, offering tangy red berry flavors, silky texture and good mineral snap. The finish is gently sweet and impressively pure. This wine is made from young vines from the Bruniers' Vieux Telegraphe and Domaine La Roquete.
Grenache Noir 100% – the young-vines (20-25 years), earlier-maturing cuvée from Vieux Télégraphe. Very sweet, open and animal on the nose. Rich and treacly. Pretty tannic finish. This doesn’t taste like a really young pale wine but lacks a bit of fruit concentration in the middle. (JR)
