Beaune 1 er cru - Boucherottes 2005 by Anne Gros

Anne Gros is quite a new producer in Burgundy, but already now her quality wines speak for itself. In search for good Burgundy wines at not too crazy prices, the red from Beaune was tried. The cru of Boucherottes is very close to Pommard (with heavier Burgundy wines). the wine was medium dark red with a somewhat discrete smell of dark fruits (probably needs time to open). The taste was pure clean wonderfully complex and solid with lots of fruit and soft tannins.
Just perfect with lots of cellaring potential.
Lovely stuff! Great pinot Noir.....

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+

Wine # 2 Blindtasting Ganddal

Deep dark purple colour. Dark berries, cherries and mint chocolate. Full bodied with soft tannins. Reminds me of an Amarone.. A very nice wine indeed. Panel is way out as it is from the Rhone valley. Gigondas 2009 by Guigal Score 17.60  Ca 20€ or 220 NOK

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).
