Domaine Chevalier 2004 -red

Domaine de Chevalier
One of my favourites, found the 2004 vintage for 25€ at Auchan this week. 2004 is perhaps not a great year, but that does not mean that the wine is bad. In fact we have tasted many 2004 and they drink very well indeed, the big difference with the 2003 and 2005 is perhaps that the 2004 may not have the same storage potential.

Anyway the 2004 Chevalier was very different from other Chevalier we have tasted before. It was more closed and perhaps more complex on the nose with  warm spicy fruit. On the palate it was firm and fruity with a creamy texture and very good length. They just dont make bad wines at this chateau!
It is a very nice bottle of wine and t 25€ its worth every centimes...
Score ca 17

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!
