Achat de bouteilles de Vieux Télégraphe 2010
Châteauneuf du pape - Vignoble Brunier
97/100 Parker
Peak: 2015 - 2045
Tasting notes: ‘The 2010 Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf du Pape is behaving much better than before it was bottled. It is one of the best Vieux Telegraphe I have tasted over the last three decades and more. I think it's even better than the 2007, which I tasted a few weeks ago. The 2010 boasts a dense purple colour and a sumptuous bouquet of spring flowers, boysenberries, black cherries, blackcurrants, nori (the husk of sushi seaweed), black olives, liquorice and pepper. This full-bodied, fleshy, thick and juicy wine is very tannic, but it is also incredibly concentrated. More massive than I remembered from last year, it has taken on a lot of weight and intensity. Well done to Daniel and Frédéric Brunier!’
