2005 Penfolds St. Henri Shiraz

Deep purple coloured with over medium intensity aromas of blackcurrant jam, black plum, prune, dried date, sweet vanilla. Very ripe black fruit. It is dry with medium acidity, medium alcohol and full bodied. Medium ripe and fine grained tannin too. On palate it gives over medium intensity flavours of black plum, black cherry, vanilla, earth and touch of vegetal note. Longer than medium length with black plum finish. (92) Ripe and concentrated. Pretty straight at the moment.

濃厚而且強勁的黑果感覺，其強度接近果醬的。 酒體豐厚雄渾，可喜的是單寧成熟，餘韻合格有餘。酒味在口中有一點點轉化，但是仍然以黑色果實為主，接近二十年的酒仍然有年輕感覺，難得，不過複雜性仍待開發，現在喝不錯，但相信仍可再陳一下。

 

2018 Kaesler Woms Shiraz Cabernet

Deep intensity purple coloured with quite intense aromas of blackcurrant, prune, black pepper, pine, violet, licorice spice and touch of cedar, very rich and complex nose. It is dry with medium acidity, full bodied with over medium alcohol. Medium ripe and smooth tannin and over medium intensity flavours of black plum, mulberry, touch of smoke and licorice, a bit savory. Medium length with black plum finish. (90) Wonderful silky mouthfeel but needs a longer length.

這酒很有驚喜。驚喜的地方在於只是五年的酒，但那丹寧的成熟及柔順感令人吃驚。酒的香氣十分出色，口感和酒體一如想像中的十分厚重，酒味在口中的表現尚算不錯，但是餘韻比想像中的短頗多，整體來說也是一個不錯的酒品，是會令人留下印象的。也說明了2018年澳洲似乎是一個幾好的年份。

果味及香料味滿滿的酒，不單止酒力強勁和複雜，那種味道融和的感覺令人喝得滿心歡喜。酒仍有一定發展潛力，但現在喝已經很好味。那餘韻亦令人回味無窮，好好味的，是會引人不斷添飲的酒。

在果味與香料味徘徊之間，酒香由果味帶頭，入口後香料味反而走出來似的。品種風格也算突出，酒力強，有一定複雜性，餘韻亦長，好喝。口感重，尚需一些時間，想信可以再陳年一下。

三十幾年的酒還像十多年的酒一樣，這款酒的陳年能力真是厲害。 酒力強，亦有一定複雜性，加上長的餘韻，擺明話你知它的高品質。酒無疑可以再陳年，現飲已經不錯，亦有一定想像空間。再多放五至七也無問題。

二十年仍然濃艷的酒，豐富、濃郁、酒力強，亦有一定複雜性和品種特色的黑胡椒味，再加上長長的餘韻，好酒一枝。酒的豐厚度是會令人有飽肚感，好好味。這樣的表現顯示出這酒還可陳放多一段長時間，現在飲已經幾好味，喜愛果味重的已經可以一試。
