Having tried the 2004 vintage some time ago, I came across the 2001 at Monoprix for the same price (around 25€). Based upon the great experience with the 2001 made by Albert Morot, we tried this one out. I must say that the 2001 vintage from Beaune is still great and drinking very well right now. Beautiful red berry aromas, pale red colour and a taste perfectly balanced with a long medium bodied velvety finish. Fantastic stuff and peaking right now.

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!
