Lot #1368. Le Vieux Donjon Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2007

Description: Consists of 4 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 94-96 RP.
"The three component parts of the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape, Syrah from the estate’s holdings in Pialons, old vine Grenache from sandy terroirs, and Mourvedre, are all brilliant, hence the estimated rating of (94-96). The wine reveals a dense purple color along with a gorgeous bouquet of camphor, licorice, graphite, sweet red and black fruits, smoked meats, and a hint of charcoal. Full-bodied and pure with plenty of Provencal garrigue and meaty characters, this superb, chewy red should turn out to be their finest effort since the 1998 and 1990. It is a classic, traditionally made Chateauneuf du Pape to drink between 2013-2026." Wine Advocate #179, Oct 2008
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $275
