Bright raspberry, plum and cassis is framed by lavender, sweet licorice, chestnuts and dark chocolate. Good acid and minerality complete the finish. Intense now but not far off as should show really well in another 3-5 years

Really developed nicely with some breathing. Apples, white flowers with a background of spice were really present and delicious by the 2nd hour. #vieuxtelegraphe #lacrau #chateauneufdupape #blanc

Oaky, spicy, solid minerality. Solid vintage. A bit tannic. Should age beautifully.

Magnum; decanted two hours and served with thanksgiving dinner. Spicy caramel upfront with tannic graphite finish. Excellent today and promising structure for the next several years.
