1994 Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe Cha^teauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rho^ne ($24.95)

This Cha^teauneuf-du-Pape from the Brunier family’s Vieux Telegraphe estate is as wild and woolly as the king of the southern Rho^ne comes. It’s a powerful, gamy wine with loads of dark fruit, black pepper and leather flavors--and tannins to spare. Not just another generic Rho^ne but what a Cha^teauneuf is supposed to taste like.
