2022 Le Vieux Donjon Chateauneuf-du-Pape [JD94]

Producer: Le Vieux Donjon  Region: Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France  Blend: Rhone Red Blend  Year: 2022   Jeb Dunnuck, 94 Points  "From an estate that seems to have hit another level over the past 5-7 years or so, the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape reveals a deeper plum/purple color as well as charming, complex aromas and flavors of ripe blackberries, mulberries, peppery garrigue, flowers, and orange blossom. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it shows the more charming, mid-weight style of the vintage, has silky tannins, wonderful overall balance, and outstanding length. It's not going to match the top vintages from this estate, but it's going to put a smile on your face any time over the coming 15 years or so."  Alcohol: 15%  *Price and availability in store may vary.
