Henriot 2000

This Champagne house makes affordable and stunning vintage Champagne.

The 1996 from this house (tried in a wine bar in Berlin in 2013) is probably one of the best Champagne I have ever tried.

The 2000 version is not far off and would probably have been even better if I had the patience to wait a couple of more years...

which of course I did not have….

In memory of the old man who passed away last year, I enjoyed the 2000 with my mum and we had it with fried Arctic cod which is in season right now.

A glorious combination and the Champagne was right out great with a rich harmonious bouquet of wet breadcrumbs, lime and minerals.

A lively fresh taste with a superb length and balance. A shame we only had the one bottle.

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!
