More general drinking

Chablis Grand Cru les Clos 2006, J-P et B Droin

A soft, expressive nose of minerals, citrus fruit and nuts. Smells like it has some depth. The palate is reasonably complex, but the flavours are not particularly concentrated. Reasonable.

Chateauneuf du Papes 1994, Chateau de Beaucastel

A very animal, meaty nose. Lots of rich earthiness and a medicinal tang, complex style here. The palate is silky and sensual with lots of mature fruit. Complexity++. Damned good.
