Comments on this:

Châteauneuf-du-Pape "Télégramme" 2021 from Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe MAGNUM:

La Revue du Vin de France (oct 2023) : 95/100. The "gateway" of this historic domaine has become a wine in its own right, as it is no longer solely composed of young vines but also includes some of the vines from the old domaine de la Roquette. Its sumptuous aroma leads us to scents of red fruit coulis. Fine and graceful, with a delicate texture, this wine is held by delicate tannins, with an appetizing and indulgent fruit."

Guide RVF des Meilleurs Vins de France 2024 (sept. 2022) : 90/100. Télégramme remains in the spirit of the 2021 vintage with moderate richness and amplitude, a less dense mid-palate, and more pronounced tannins.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Joe Czervinski, sept. 2023) : 91/100. The plump, succulent 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Telegramme offers cheerful strawberry, raspberry and redcurrant fruit. It's medium to full-bodied, silky and elegant, offering plenty of near-term enjoyment. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. DRINK DATE 2023-2030.
