Powerful and penetrating but extremely backward

This seductive effort should be approachable on the younger side but reward extended keeping

Vieux Telegraphe (Piedlong), Chateauneuf Du Pape other_regions_australia Powerful and penetrating but extremelyStill yet to be bottled, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Piedlong is 90% Grenache (from the Piedlong lieu dit) and 10% Mourvdre. It offers mouthwatering elements of cherries and raspberries, rose petals and black tea. Silky, lacy and delicate in texture for such a full bodied wine, it's immediately charming and seductive.
