GOURMETTRAVELLER – JUNE 2012 – NICK STOCK

2009 Télégramme Châteauneuf-du-Pape (A$85) is a rich amalgam of ripe yet fresh mixed summer berries with a distinct raspberry tinge to the fruit. It’s bright. with some candied red licorice too. The palate is supple and juicy with medium-weight tannins and light-spiced oak. Compact with good length, it will fill out in time. This is a vintage to leave for some years.
