2016 Craggy Range Te Kahu Hawkes Bay Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

A deep purple coloured dry red wine with quite intense noses of black berry, plum, blueberry, cedar, black pepper, sweet vanilla and trace of blackcurrant. Medium acidity and alcohol, medium bodied with a little bit stalky tannin at medium level. The flavour intensity is at medium level with flavours of black cherry, bell pepper, cedar, licorice and some earthy notes. Medium length with black berry finish. (89) A good food wine with lighter than expected.

試過這酒莊的白酒後試紅酒。香氣頗強，而且複雜，第一印象幾好。入口後表現反而平平，表現四正平穩，仍有一點複雜性，但強度下跌了，餘韻合格。很好的餐酒。

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。

出色！強勁、圓潤、濃厚集於一身，果味感比香料味多一點，單寧柔順，餘韻悠長，相信任何人都可以喝得出是一枝佳釀。品種及木桶的標誌性也很分明，是一枝好喝得來又容易理解和欣賞的酒。
