Trivento Golden Reserve Malbec 2007 - Argentine

Found this Malbec from Argentine in an Oslo restaurant during the World Championship Nordic Skiing. A close to perfect day (Norway winning the 4x5 km relay and looking good after first half in the Holmenkollen ski-jump) was rounded off with a good steak and a bottle of Malbec at "New Orleans".

The colour was dense and dark as ink. The nose was filled with black berries, coffee, ink, plums,spices etc. The taste was big , solid, dense, packed with dark fruit, coffee, long, well balanced and a monster of a win that was perfect with the steak.

Slightly frozen and exhausted after spending 7 hours out in the foggy woods of Holmenkollen this Malbec was just like heaven on earth.

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!
