Cheval Blanc 1995

Shared a bottle the Cheval Blanc 1995 in a Oslo restaurant some time back with a good friend of mine.

I have not tried Cheval Blanc since I first went to a wine tasting in 1985 and what an experience it was.

The price at the restaurant was in fact cheaper than the purchase price in France or UK and was as such a real bargain (but of course not inexpensive...)

Main grapes are Merlot and Cabernet Franc which creates an extraordinary wine.

Complex aromas of plum, blackberries, mulberries and cedar. The oak, tannins and acidity was perfectly integrated with a full bodied taste.

The wine could still be kept and as there were still a few bottles left of this wine at the resto, I am sure I will be back at there when I have enough money on my account...

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!
