Chateauneuf-du-Pape 1986

Chateauneuf-du-Pape 1986 from Vieux Télégraphe is a composed and characterful red that leans more on clarity and balance than sheer weight. The vintage brings a sense of quiet tension, giving the wine a calm energy that unfolds gently in the glass. It is the kind of bottle that feels at home on a laid-back table, more about conversation, texture, and mood than tasting-note gymnastics.
