Terrace wine?

I think not! Been in Antibes for two weeks now and this was celebrated by having Chambolle Musigny "Les Charmes" 2004 by Patrice Rion for lunch.
Not an ordinary wine, but a Premier cru from Chambolle Musigny. Lovely great flavours of sweet cherries and burnt wood, the taste is complex and beautifully balanced with firm tannins and a long velvety aftertaste that just goes on and on.  How is it possible? This is just great stuff!
but it needs more time, maybe next summer it will be even more perfect?

Chambolle Musigny 1er cru "Les Charmes" 2004 Patrice Rion 38€ (or 60€ u know where)when u want  time to stand still.....

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).
