Châteauneuf-du-Pape--Vintage 1978
Rhône, Vieux Télégraphe
Levels: six 3cm or better, four 3cm and two 3.5cm; damp stained labels
"The colossal 1978 remains the reference point wine for Vieux-Telegraphet. I have drunk nearly three cases of this wine, and it remains incredibly youthful, with a thick, murky, purple/black color as well as spectacular aromatics of licorice, dried herbs, smoked meats, and sweet, jammy, prune, blackberry, and cassis fruit. This full-bodied wine has thrown a tremendous amount of sediment, but it remains vigorous, exuberant, muscular, and fresh. It may evolve and drink well for another 10-15 years. It is an amazing achievement!" Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Issue 129, June 2000
