I was called to jury duty today and was one of the last prospective
jurors dismissed, which was a fortunate thing as the trial may be a long
one as it concerns a charge of child molestation (editorial note: I
would have served willingly and dutifully, but I had no great desire to
see the evidence in this case or lose 1-2 weeks of my life). To
celebrate my newfound freedom, I made us a dinner of broiled rack of
lamb with mashed sweet potatoes and sauteed bok choy and opened:

2006 Chateau St. Martin de la Garrigue "Bronzinelle" Coteaux du Languedoc

nose: briery blueberries
palate: deep fruity core, dusty tannins and firm acids

Although the sages of Cellartracker had proclaimed that this wine --
bought some years ago on the strength of Mike Tomassi's endorsement --
was OTH, if anything it needs a few more years in the cellar to come
into its own. Very enjoyable with the lamb if a bit simple at this state.

OTH?
Wiki tells me that means either One Tree Hill, Optical Transport Hierarchy
or Over-the-horizon radar among other things :-)

Oh, it dawns on me right now - over-the-hill?
Sorry, not too bright in the morning, it appears.
