Lot #491. Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape 1990

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 95 WA.
"My favorite of the lineup was easily the 1990 Châteauneuf-du-Pape and it has to-die-for aromatics that continue to change and evolve in the glass. Garrigue, seaweed, olive, game and ripe red and black fruits all flow to a medium to full-bodied, seamless and elegant red that has fine tannin and a sunny, graceful personality that's about as gulpable as they come. It's fully mature and I see no need to delay gratification." Wine Advocate #227, Oct 2016
Provenance: The Dorset Cellar
Notes: 3cm, very lightly glue stained, very lightly scuffed, damp stained label.
