Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2012 is a full-bodied blended red wine from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the southern Rhône Valley. Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe is a name synonymous with fine, age-worthy Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which has owned and run by the Brunier family for more than a century. The flagship Vieux Télégraph Châteauneuf-du-Pape cuvée is a blend of 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre and 5% Cinsault plus other local grape varieties, all from vineyards aged 65 years or more. "Rock-solid, with a hefty core of fig, blackberry and black cherry fruit, wrapped in chestnut and tobacco leaf notes and carrying through a lavender- and tar-framed finish. Dense and grippy, showing a slightly old-school shading." Wine Spectator, 2014
