The new house of the Pope. . .

It is that time of year again the Chateauneuf du Pape's are starting to roll in. Every year we try to secure a good amount of Le Vieux DonJon. This year we have received only one case of the famed estate. Here is what Stephen Tanzer has to say about the 2007 DonJon
Inky ruby. Strikingly elegant, hypnotic bouquet of black raspberry, redcurrant, potpourri, garrigue and minerals. Stains the palate with deep red and dark berry flavors and suggestions of smoky minerals, candied flowers and Asian spices. Impeccably balanced wine with a seductive finishing interplay of sweetness, power and precision. This will be a must buy for Rhone freaks.
Tanzer gives this wine a 93to96 rating based on samples. Robert Parker give it 94pts.
What I say is that consistently since 2001 DonJon has continued to make very impressive wines. Big ripe fruit, with a solid core of acidity and structure. These wines evolve over time and make great addition to any cellar. If you have been looking to put away wines for the future and don't want to spend the hundreds of dollars per bottle that high end Bordeaux fetches these days, this is a great alternative. As a bonus we have also received a few Magnum size bottles of the DonJon for those who like to go big.
More wines are being added every week so if there is something you are looking for come see us. Cheers.
