A pair of '97 Shiraz
Dinner at Mirror in Hong Kong.
1997 Penfolds RWT - ripe on the palate but not too sweet. Fruity, plummy, vanilla, coconut, a little smoky. Could be from the Right Bank. After 1½ hours the nose became really sharp and alcoholic, and also acidic. Smoothed out and drank nicely after 2 hours. I don't think I would have guessed this "Baby Grange" was a Shiraz... Not quite tasting as it should.
1997 d'Arenberg The Dead Arm - sweeter on the nose and palate compared to the RWT. Also some coconut here as well as coffee. More concentrated on the palate. This is more like it!
