Ch de Saint Cosme 2010 Gigondas

This is a deep dark ruby coloured wine from Gigondas in Rhone with a mix of 4 different grapes Mourvedre, Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah.

Lovely smell of dark fruit (brambles, blueberries) and a bit of cigar box.

Full bodied wine with big firm tannins and a lovely minerality. Probably one of the best and most expensive Gigondas that exists. High in alcohol.

Ch de Saint Cosme 2010
Gigondas ca 240 kr or 20€
Big and fruity wine that goes with red meat.

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!
