2007 Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf du Pape

[TheEngineer]

Was this your expectation of the wine? I only ask this cuz I've only tried a few producers of the 07 CDP and all of the were much brighter, cleaner, and more "koolaid" than I would have thought. Now my sample size has been small but yours sounded almost like you felt there was something missing despite being technically solid. I've also not tried VT which tends to be more traditional.
