Sunday, September 26, 2010 - Pleasing, elegant CdP, not a "tour de force" and without "gobs of fruit", which means that to my palate, this wine is just fine. The fruit is very clean, with cherry and a core of red raspberry, cocoa, and a bit of rusticity around the edges. Opens up by the second night, broadens horizontally on the palate as well as vertically with additional depth of fruit, garrigue, and the trademark Donjon attribute of melted black truffle, brown spice and animal fur. The tannin also comes out more on the second night, suggesting that any initial impression of weakness or lack of fortitude may be premature. Drink now with a decant or let it age for a few more years.
