2007 Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz-Cabernet
2007 Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz-Cabernet, South Eastern Australia（Park'n $89， 特價 $78）
在朋友大力推薦，網上一至好評和百佳減價的引誘之下，喝了這瓶Penfolds，但再次証明「Shiraz 」不是我喜愛的風格！相信不會在沒把握的情況下，再試以Shiraz為主的紅酒。
當然，這是我個人口味的問題，如果你喜歡Shiraz，可參考以下的介紹：
『Penfolds從1976年開始釀製Koonunga Hill系列的紅酒，也算是該公司旗下的入門酒。雖然價位只比Rawson’s Retreat系列稍高，但口感卻較Rawson’s Retreat系列明顯為佳。除了價格合理的因素以外，為亦非常適合搭配中式料理飲用。
Shiraz和Cabernet 這兩品種都是以酒香濃郁和單寧強著稱，但兩者的混合確能截長補短，保留Shiraz的豐富果香和Cabernet 的厚重濃郁，品嚐時有著巧克力、果香和微微煙燻橡木桶香味，加上微妙的黑胡椒味的重口感。因此，就算搭配口味較重的中式料理也能表現得十分出色。』
『91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The Cabernet and Shiraz blends begin with the 2006 Shiraz (70%) – Cabernet Sauvignon (22%) “Koonunga Hill”. Purple-colored, the wine offers meaty black currant, blackberry, and blueberry aromas. On the palate the wine exhibits remarkable focus and structure for its humble price. The fruit is grapy and primary as well as intensely flavored. It should evolve for several years and drink well through 2022 if not longer. It is a fantastic value. As an aside, Peter Gago presented a 1976 Koonunga Hill to demonstrate the aging potential of this cuvee. The wine was showing a bit of age aromatically but none on the palate. At age 31, this wine (which probably cost several dollars on release) is right at its peak (my score 94 points)."』
