Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape "La Crau" 2000

95 points Andrew Jefford (Decanter): "Slightly deeper in hue than La Nerthe, but the same depth of colour as Pégau. This wine has, remarkably enough, retained wild flower and lavender notes with a falling honeyed sweetness, too. On the palate, it has better volume and force than La Nerthe, with lower acidity and richer tannins. This is a very complete wine at present, with notes of thyme and meaty umami framing the refined, stony fruits. (5/23/16)"
