The 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape is a broad, concentrated, seductive offering with abundant quantities of black cherry jam intermixed with licorice, smoke, and spice box. Ripe, medium to full-bodied, and plush, it is best consumed over the next 7-9 years. This wine represents 20% of Vieux-Telegraphe's total production.
