Syrah and Shiraz

Syrah 原本是法國東南部 Rhone 特有的葡萄，後來被帶到澳洲種植，亦稱為 Shiraz。  由於澳洲陽光充沛，氣候溫暖，故澳洲種植出來的Shiraz，質素極佳。

Shiraz 的色澤比較深，有獨特的果香和柔和的橡木芳香，味道方面，則帶有濃郁的醬果甜味和少許椒味，同時帶有少許丹寧味。

這天開了 Turkey Flat Shiraz 2006 —

覺得非常易入口，再上網看看，原來連 Robert Parker 也給了 91 分 —

The 2006 Shiraz is a glass-coating opaque purple colour with an aromatic array of pain grille, pencil lead, smoke, espresso, and blueberry. Layered on the palate, it has outstanding grip, savoury black fruit flavours, and a lengthy, fruit-filled finish. It will continue to unwind for several years and offer a drinking window extending from 2012-2022.
