Fleur Cardinale 2007 - St.Emilion Grand Cru

With 30c on the terrace in Antibes even Bordeaux wines come straight from the fridge and reach a perfect temperature after just a few minutes. This one, purchased from the local Auchan, was deep dark red with a red/purple rim. The bouquet lovely complex mix of violet, dark fruits and pencil case. Great stuff! With at least 70% Merlot, the taste was compact and dense with soft firm tannins. Lovely!
This is a beautiful example of St.Emilion at a reasonable price 27€ (to be St.Emilion that is).

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!
