Community Tasting Note

Thursday, August 12, 2010 - Pretty much as noted in late 2009. Dark, unevolved, round with great fruit and complicating tobacco. Excellent acidity for the year. No more than midway through its development, I think. In the context of two 1988 red Burgundies that came before this wine, it was positively thick and sweet. I don't mean that as a knock since it is beautifully balanced compared to so many '98 Chateauneufs, but with this sequence of drinking and tasting, even the Vieux Donjon comes across as fat and lacking precision. Apples and oranges.
