Duval Leroy 1996, Kilikanoon Oracle 2004, Muller Catoir Kabinet 2007

Today is Chinese New Year Eve. Have the opportunity to drink 3 wines with my family.

1st Wine - Duval Leroy 1996 Champange Cuvee Femme
Taste of tropical fruits, yeasty aftertaste. Comments round the table were good.

2nd Wine - Kilikanoon Oracle 2004
Cedar wood and dark fruit aroma. Taste of black berries, and plum. Great after taste with a tinge of vanilla. Comments from my family :" This is very GOOD." This wine has matured with all elments blended in harmony - oak, fruity acid, and smooth tannic. Compared to the 2005, this is more fruit forward and well balance. Y'05 has a jammy taste, probably due to the "hot" weather.

3rd Wine - Muller Catoir Kabinet 2007
Smell of apple, tropical fruits. Refreshing on the palate with taste of pineapple, apple... Y2007 is a good year for German Riesling. Perhaps... But have yet compared to the other years.
