(Le Vieux Donjon) Just a classic CDP. Should be in the dictionary under Chateauneuf. Wild nose of garrigue, ripe cherry fruit, animal, leather and just plain old unidentifiable sauvage. Palate was juicy and bordering on port-like but held in check by acidity. Long finish with just a touch of warmth. But then that warmth is what classicaly styled CDP is all about. Great stuff.
