2001 Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf-du-Pape "La Crau"

This has seen better days, perhaps it's just this bottle but my gut says no. Slight cherry nose. There is soft, cherry fruit and a bit of spice on the palate. Pleasant, but nothing exceptional. Drying tannins, great acidity, good balance. Finishes short and sharp. Probably better a few years ago. Drink up. "B"
