Volnay 2007 Burgundy (Right) - Is this really Pinot Noir? Translucent ruby, but smells like cabernet sav, tastes like cabernet sav. Reminds me of a very watered down, acidic Vin de Pays. No body, very sour. No pleasure (6.3/10)
Ch Bellevue 2004 (Middle) - Expectation was high when came across this in the tasting list, but what showed up was a Haut Medoc AOC and not the real deal (St Emilion GCC). Like any ordinary supermarket Bordeaux below $30- Thin, tannic.......torture (5.8/10)
Ch Simian (du Pape) 2007 (Left) - WOTN, but don't infer too much given the lineup. Passable nose, some black fruits. Still very tannic and bitterness at the finish, but at least some pleasurable fruity elements are showing (6.8/10)
