Crisis! What Crisis?

Napoleon once said that in victory you deserve champagne, in defeat you need it!
With stock prices falling like a rock, our dear football club in red going down the same trend, it was time for champagne.
Pol Roger is one of oldest Champagne houses (from Epernay) and also one of those with a consistent high quality.
We tried the Pol Roger Brut reserve, made of 33% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay and 33% Pinot Meunier.
Lovely golden colour with delicate small bubbles. Elegant ! Great smell of red apples and toasted bread with a long fruity taste with good minerality. So balanced , so easy to drink. Great and subtle stuff!

Pol Roger Champagne Brut Reserve, 30 to 40€, one of the best champagne houses around,  just remember the name!

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).
