未成年請勿飲酒,飲酒過量有礙身體健康

JJ Hahn系列酒款羅夫賓德酒莊與漢恩家族的合作結晶,前者採用後者超高品質的葡萄,來打造令人激賞的酒款。漢恩家族約在1846年來到巴羅莎谷地,開墾出自己的葡萄園,現在是由家族第七代James與Jacqui經營葡萄園,可說是巴羅莎谷地國寶級的葡萄栽植者。漢恩家族的果園,位於巴羅莎谷地中間,較為寬闊平坦的部分,這裡出產的葡萄,嚐起來不同於羅夫賓德酒莊其他位於谷地西側山脊酒款的葡萄園。巴羅莎谷地的傑出釀酒師羅夫賓德,與重量級葡萄園JJ漢恩的合作。

JJ Hahn 1914 Shiraz 2005 Barossa Valley (1914 old vine)

[wpcol_1half id="" class="" style=""] Though a 2005 vintage, elder vines provide more elegant, denser, and more delicate noses and flavors than the previous 2004 vintage of younger vines. Comparing these two wines together definitely shows the difference of various age vines.

The nose is not as pronounced as previous "younger" vine Shiraz at the beginning, but more elegant all the way. The nose becomes denser than 1928 after one hour. Flavors are basically the same style, but this elder vine Shiraz shows interesting cantaloupe and sugarcane skin nose.

The palate is also similar to the previous one, but denser and more elegant. Light cinnamon, wooden spices. Berry fruits flavors also go with cantaloupe on the tongue.
[/wpcol_1half] [wpcol_1half_end id="" class="" style=""] 雖然是2005年,但比前一款較年輕的葡萄藤的2004年份更加細緻、更加濃郁。這兩款酒一起喝真的可以發現葡萄藤年紀不同的差異。

一開始的時候香氣沒有前一款那麼濃郁,但隨著時間過去就變得越來越濃郁,同時一直都保持著非常優雅的調性。香氣的種類基本上也很類似,但是有趣的是帶有哈密瓜與甘蔗皮的甜香。

在口中的表現也差不多,不過依舊更加濃郁與優雅。淡淡的肉桂、木質香料味道,仔細感受還可以發現哈密瓜的甜香。

同場比較的 Kilikanoon Green's vineyard 2005 Shiraz 也是香氣濃郁,但因為不是老藤的關係,就沒那麼細緻優雅了。大量的黑莓果實、黑胡椒、青椒、肉桂、火藥、潮濕土壤、潮濕葉子味道。
