TN: a little known AOC and a Langhe.

[JonoB]

2008 Gris de Toul; Côtes de Toul: Domaine Lelièvre
oyster shell, orange, cooked lemons, grass, hemp and stewed lime, quite round and creamy, some minerals and wonderful length, intriguing and beguiling. 67+/100  

2009 Langhe Nebbiolo; Renato Ratti
tar, roses, cherry, plum, herbs, nice spicy, mineral length, sandy, saline but at the same time modern, oaky and easily appealing. A really nice wine, but unashamedly modern and does it speak of Nebbiolo?? 60+/100  

Jono Beagle's hundred point scoring system.
0-29/100 not worth bothering with
30-49/100 good wine but I wouldn't buy a case
50-59/100 very good showing grape and terroir character
60-69/100 excellent example of a wine from this country/region/grape
70-85/100 one of the very best wines that the region has to offer.
86-100/100 one of the very best wines you are ever likely to drink
