375 ml Grenache 60%, Mourvèdre 20%, Syrah 20% Rhône, France 2005
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe, H Brunier et Fils - Half 2005 is a dry, very full-bodied red from Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah (Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France), in the rich, smooth reds style. Tannins are moderate and acidity gentle; oak influence is little. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 21-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened.
