Chambolle Musigny 1er cru "Les Hauts Doix" 2005 by Nicolas Potel

Continuing down the Burgundy trail, I could not resist buying a 2005 1er cru from Chambolle Musigny at the wine shop yesterday. Nicolas Potel, the producer, is a young upcoming star and the 2005 was his first vintage ever.
The wine had all the lovely Chambolle flavours of delicate red berries with streaks of wet wool, beautiful medium red colour. The taste showed lovely seductive fruit, but with a firm but charming taste that went on and on. Maybe not as wonderfully seductive as Patrice Rion village wine, but very similar but with perhaps more tannins and acidity, probably requires 5 to 6 more years to peak.

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!
