Had a few bottles here and there recently.
Clos du Joncuas 2015 Vacqueyras "La Font de Papier" - crisp, cool blue fruits, a bit of malo-sourced butteriness (or, at least, very delicately so), a nice little wine at a good price
Baudry 2014 Chinon Rouge - good ripeness and, as always, shapely in the mouth, a bit of shoe polish distracts me, I will admit
Scherrer 2007 Syrah "Sasha" - open right now: on opening, incredibly youthful and intense, shockingly so; a few minutes later, it acts a bit more like a ten-year-old wine and doesn't run roughshod over the food (cuisse de canard confit, cracklins of same, vegetable medley sauteed in the same fry-pan); ETA: very blue-fruit, tannic but not over-bearingly so, throwing sediment everywhere, minerally (not in a chalky way), very rich; if you like your St-Joseph really in your face, this is it; served with heavy food, it's working
