Pomerol

Pomerol is a difficult red wine region to understand and find good quality wine for a reasonable price. If you have lots of money its absolutely no problem >>> just buy any of these Merlot dominant soft earthy seductive wine!

In Pomerol they produce small quantities of wine and achieve extraordinary prices due to the limited volume (or how about Ch Petrus for 2000€ ? a bottle that is...)

Below I have gathered some of the wine we have tasted over the last few years that are reasonable in price to be Pomerol (15 to 30€ in most supermarkets or wine shops)). Normally they should be drunk within 5 to 7 years.;

Cadet de Gombaude 2004   16€, earthy soft, good, P
Clos Rene 2004     16€, plummy jammy smooth, BUY
La Croix de Gay 2001 30€, lovely wine bought at Nicolas, P+
Le Seuil de Mazeyres 2004, 18€, a great Pomerol lacks  structure, P
Ch de Sales 2000 15€, red fruit velvety stuff , BUY
Ch Chantalouette 2001 16€, earthy,plummy, good value BUY
Ch Vray Croix de Gay 1999 26€, very good taste, P
Ch La Pointe 2003 18€, lots of texture and smooth finish, P+
Ch Grange Neuve 2002 20€ well made wine P(+)
Ch Taillefer 2001 18€ soft delicate BUY

or if you are stinking rich....,

Bordeaux- Le prelat du Ch. Pape Clement 2004

This is one of two second wines of the famous and expensive Ch. Pape Clement in Graves. Although young,  2004, this wine drinks really well already if you put it on carafe a couple of hours before consumption. Dark red colour, with a very attractive smell of blueberries and dark berries, its a full bodied wine with firm but nice tannins that goes best with some food. 2004 although not the best of vintages, keep surprising me with good drinkable wines at affordable prices, because from 2005 and onwards there is a big step up in prices.... Grapes; Cabernet Sauvignon 60% and Merlot 40% Price around 20€ P+

Ogier Chateauneuf du Pape 2010

This is a quite reasonable Chateauneuf du Pape (ca 200 NOK or 15€). The colour is medium ruby color which was a bit surprising. Nose of ripe black cherries and liquerice with a medium + body and finish with firm tannins. The wine can be drunk now but has definitely the potential for ageing (5-10 years). Chateauneuf du Pape 2010, Ogier Bring out the steak!
