dinner @ Gold Coast

Moltes Gewurztraminer, Alsace, 2003
非常吸引的荔枝、蜂蜜及花香
可惜入口酸度不足，稍為偏甜
不大平衡，可能冰得太冷而仍是較緊閉

Ch Harquirs, Fronsac, 1998 (Magnum)
1.5升的大酒瓶
黑果(黑加侖士)及紅果(紅莓)香氣，後轉成茶葉，以及不太明顯的橡木味
入口單寧比較粗糙，果味及酸度一般

Perrin & Fils, Vinsobres les Cornuds, Cotes du Rhone, 2003
最近被「品醇客」選為「全球五十大超值紅酒」
十分明顯的黑果(西梅、黑莓)和紅果(紅莓、櫻桃)香氣，配上「隆河」(River Rhone)典型的煙燻及辛辣味，加上十分輕的植物氣息(vegetal)，挺多元化
入口果味與香氣相若，可惜單寧仍粗糙，橡木味及酒精比較明顯
不算出眾的酒

Moltes Gewurztraminer, Alsace, 2003
Very attractive nose of lychee, honey and floral
But she is not acidic enough, a bit too sweet
Not balanced wine, maybe she was still close in the low temperature

Ch Harquirs, Fronsac, 1998 (Magnum)
A 1.5L big bottle.
Black (blackcurrant) and red (raspberry) fruit nose, turned to tea later, with a hint of oak
The rough tannin made me uncomfortable in mouth, and the fruitiness and acidity is just “so-so”

Perrin & Fils, Vinsobres les Cornuds, Cotes du Rhone, 2003
She was selected as “The World's 50 Best Value Reds” recently by Decanter Magazine
Adequate black (prune and blackberry) and red (raspberry and cherry) fruit, with typical smoky and spicy nose of River Rhone. Insignificant vegetal note was also detected. Quite rich in the nose.
On palate, the fruitiness is about the same as nose, but tannin is still rough, and quite oaky and alcoholic
Not really that outstanding as I expected
