Domaine de la Solitude 2005, Pessac Leognan

This 2005 is one of the few reasonable 2005 Bordeaux wines that can be found in the shop. A great year and perfect with the Easter lamb this year , or the next 10 years...

Deep dark red colour. Nose packed with blackcurrent, vanilla and jam (just borderline being Australian...).

Lovely velvety big body with fruity and smooth tannins which leads to a solid mouthful.

Very hard to dislike the wine and the price, borderline low/medium price range 205 or 12-15 € in country of origin.
Not be mixed up with Solitude from Chateauneuf du Pape.

Domaine Solitude 2005, Pessac Leognan, the best vintage so far???

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!
