Château Du Donjon

Le Vieux Donjon

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2020

Delectable Wine
9.4

The ambitious 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is one of my all-time favorites from this estate. Crushed violets, licorice, red and black cherry, ripe strawberry and leafy elements are all pushed forward. Full-bodied and savory, the 2020 demands at least four more years in bottle to start showing its full potential. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, June 2024)

Château Rayas

Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

A tasting of magnificent CdPs. The ‘03 Rayas was sublime. Drinking a garden with a peppery, smoky nose. Just magnificent. Tasted with a ‘07 Tardieu-Laurent which was beautifully balanced. Fuller than the Rayas, with more of the typical CDP nose. Perfect time for the ‘07. The third wine was the ‘07 Vieux Donjon. The most typical of the granache fruit forward CDP. A bit too much fruit for me. Lacked the balance of the T-L. In the end, nothing compares to the Rayas. An exquisite wine of all time. — 2 years ago

Bodega Otazu

Pago de Otazu Merlot Blend 2018

This wine was part of the Spanish collection from the Bonner private Wine Partnership. This wine is it once the most subtle line in this entire collection, and the most complex. Complex. The nose is clean with a touch of spice. But on the palate, the weight of Navarra's history comes to bear like a crumbling donjon keep. No wonder this vintage has two gold medals." I should have let this wine cellar on the two more years but was too anxious to dive into it. I wasn't disappointed. — 3 years ago
