Giulio Ferrari 2005 Riserva del Fondatore- Trento

Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore 2005 has been named best Italian bubble by Top delle guide vini 2017, the prestigious ranking edited by Civiltà del Bere, which combines the data published by the major Italian wine guides with the aim of identifying the best wines and wineries in Italy.
The only Italian bubble ever to receive six excellence mentions in the eight guides taken into account by the ranking is Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore 2005, confirming the success recorded by the previous vintages of this wine.
Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore is a wine produced only with the best vintages obtained from selected grapes harvested in the vineyards of Maso Pianizza, located on the slopes of the mountains surrounding Trento. 
The 2005 vintage, harvested after a hot summer that featured a marked temperature difference between day and night, provided Chardonnay grapes with a faultless balance between sourness and sugar content, combined with a magnificent aromatic strength. The result was a Trentodoc wine fresh at taste despite a defined aromatic complexity and a ten-year rest on the yeasts.
The I Vini di Veronelli guide calls it ”Giulio The Divine”, Bibenda talks about ”a sensory delight”, while the I Vini d’Italia guide published by L’Espresso names it ”monument and pennant of Italian bubbles”, placing it at the 18th position in the ranking listing the names of the ”100 wines to have in the wine cellar”.
Small bubbles, delightful nose of apple, citrus and yeast. Refreshing beautiful balanced taste. Very nice wine indeed and the best bubbles ever tried from Italy.
High price.

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!

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+
