2008 Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf-du-Pape La Crau (Chipped Wax) (3L)

"Still tight, with the core of cherry and red currant fruit held in check by a mix of lightly firm sandalwood, spice, licorice root and warm stone flavors. Mulled fig and cocoa notes check in on the grippy finish. A rare backward style 2008 that will need some cellaring to round into form. (JM)" - Wine Spectator
