I was surprised that an 01 Donjon was this far along--too far along--so checked for Bill Spohn's notes on a dinner nine months ago that I wanted to attend but could not. That night's 2001 was in a good place: "ripe slightly funky nose of savoury mushroom and meat , medium weight, soft tannins and some pepper. Drinking well now – in a more classic idiom than some of the earlier vintages." Wouldn't presume from that a long future ahead, but longer than nine months so if you have more bottles, perhaps they'll show a wee bit better than this one did.
My wine shopping and I have never had a problem. Just a perpetual race between the bankruptcy court and Hell.--Rogov
