odd one out
1)domaine j l chave CDR 2007
duh ... not very interesting ...
2)onellaia le volte 2007 (merlot, cab sav and sangiovese)
base model in their lineup.
ruby dark; floral?, ripe plum, cherry, hint of vanilla, someone said leather ... i didn't get no handbags here; off dry feel on entry, rich ripe fruit (but not over ripe), rasp, mineral/chalk, fruit cake, some firm but fine tannins, juicy acid; rich, smooth but not overblown; medium bodied and length; for both, big bob fans and the rest of us ... uncanny balancing act; BANG! good price, drink up.

3)roger sabon cdp reserve 2006
4)graillot crozes hermitage 2007
no surprises here ... good stuff as before ...

temperature rising
weather's been hot and hazy the last few months ... seems to be getting worse. grim weekend this, not only is it scorching ... it's gonna be DRY for this punter.
anyways, had better put down some stuff had some time ago before heat stroke strikes.

lean mean & good
chateau potensac 2000
ruby, thrown a crust; closed nose ... never really opened up, casis, plum, pencil shavings, vanilla hint, cedar?: plummy, berries, some fruitcake, savoury and lean, bit metallic; medium bodied; tannins still firm, enough acid here; longish drying finish; was in the mood for this almost austere drop ... with food; BANG! well priced.
