JJ Hahn 1928 Shiraz 2005, Woody Nook Cabernet Sauvignon 2004, Kalleske Pirathon Shiraz 2007

Last Friday, I gave my team a CNY dinner treat at Mouth Restaurant in TPY SAFRA. We finished 6 bottles among the 14 of us. I will only record the Reds tasting here as most of the whites - Wolf Blass Yellow Label Moscato, a French Muscat and a German Riesling are generally of the same style as what I have written previously.

JJ Hahn 1928 Shiraz 2005
On the nose there are hints of spices and berries. On the palette, more berries and plummy taste. Very smooth finish and fine tannins. Best among the 3 Reds.

Woody Nook Cabernet Sauvignon 2004
On the nose, it has the leafy aroma. On the palette it again exhibits the herbaceous taste, with berries and dark chocolate taste. Probably it is still young, the finish is a bit rough too.

Kalleske Pirathon 2007
Very spicy on the nose. On the palette, taste of plum and prune. Not much fruit on the mid-palette but very good after taste of prune. Very smooth indeed.

Among the 3 reds, I will probably buy more JJ Hahn to keep. Maybe the 1912 would be even better.
