A wow. Still big and earthy and dark. Tannins integrated, fruit big. No downside. Great!

Aged CDP. Fruit is a little over the hill so earthiness dominated but still a treat.

Just right for drinking with lamb chops Easter Sunday with Alex. Almost 20 yrs ago we visited the cellars there in Chateauneuf, met one of the Brunier brothers, and Alex (7) had the run of the chais, peeking out from behind the barrels occasionally, Brunier professed to admire my fractured French. A lovely wine to kindle happy memories! Not Telegramme, but la Crau!
