The 2013 'Télégramme' is made from the estates from younger vines which average 30-years, and consists of predominately Grenache, with the remaining equal parts Syrah and Mourvèdre. It displays aromas of raspberries, spices and fresh minerals which all come together nicely in the glass. The medium body is backed by a fine, silky texture and a clean finish. I would recommend allowing this another year or two in bottle to flesh out a bit. (Best 2016-2021) - October, 2015 (JD)
