Cornas 2012

Looking for a deep dark red wine with lots of muscles?

Look no further, this Cornas (Rhone) has it all and all you require is an entrecote or pepper steak to control the wine.

The colour is deep dark red with purple rim.

On the nose there is a solid attack of pepper and dark fruit! Unmistakable for a solid Syrah!

The taste is supersolid with lots of dark fruit, plenty of energy, bit of pepper and spice...sort of dying for food. Surely no meditation wine. It's screaming for foooood...

Cornas "Chante-Perdrix" 2012
Delas
Ca 330 NOK or 30€...a bit pricy for Cornas

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!
