They stocked both.  I hope they are still there.  I think Shiraz is better.  What would you suggest?

Bring something non-Australian lar nor from the New World.  Kenzo doesn't like Aussie.

To dejavu2003,

If you willing to AUD100 a bottle then there are a lot of good Aussie wine for you to select. Try Peter Lehmann Stonewell Shiraz or Penfolds RWT, Yalumba Octivaus. You can find these wine in Australia around AUD100, these brands are considered as preimum wine from South Australia, the quality is much better, even much better than French wine. If you want to have similar quality French wine then I guess you need to pay 3 times more.

Yeah. These are the premium brands like you said.  But there's only one Wendouree - the best of the best and you won't easily find them in your normal bottle shop.

To dejavu2003,

Have you tried all of them? I have tried all of them and this Wendouree is good but not as you mentioned the best of the best. Penfolds RWT is much better. The best of the best Australian red wine should Penfolds Grange or Henschke Hill of Grace. If you get a chance try all of them then you will know.

Grange and Hill of Grace -They are probably one of the best.  Best of the best ?  Have you counted RR, Three Rivers, Run Rig ...........  I was also only quoting the statement from brother tailawyau about Wendouree being tbe best of the best.

The Wendouree is meant to be cellared for 25 years and not for today's consumption and we picked it to satisfy someone's curiosity and because it's a rare find.  I am happy to swap that with my stock of RWT if so desired but most people who tried RWT would prefer 707.

I have tried the Grange, but not the Hill of Grace.  But for nearly the same money as RR, the choice is clear.

To dejavu2003

May be Wendouree is good cellared after 25 years but who knows the quality at that time and it also highly depends on how you keep it, agree? To me I will not wait for 25 years to taste the wine, who knows what happen tomorrow.

For Penfolds RWT and Bin 707, these two wines are compeltely different. Bin 707 is Cab. Sau and it is the flagship Cab. Sau for Penfolds, it is a "powerful" wine. For RWT, it is Shiraz and of course the flagship Shiraz of Penfolds is Grange, but the RWT has it own character and it is also a full body wine but not similar to Bin 707 style, it really worth it for this value; of course both RWT & Bin 707 is great wine.

I have tried all the wine you mentioned above, to me Penfolds Grange is the best of the best. Of course, this will depends on what year and it is only my personally opinion. One comment, don't trust those articles in the wine magzines too much. Trust yourself and taste it with your own tongue and mouth. I have seen some articles in a Chinese wine magzine and the content is exactly same as what have mentioned in some wine books in English, the writer just take a bit from each books and translate it to Chinese.

GstringLover

yes, there are plenty of good choices of wine from SA, and all you said are good examples of Australian Shiraz.  i suggest trying Wendouree was because of it is a rare wine in market (or in HK) and it was highly recommended by wine writer 莊布忠, and that is the reason.  indeed, taste is very subjective and personal, perhaps i will report i hate the wine after tasting in dinner, so no need to argue too much

woo~~ you tried all those mentioned by dejavu??  so great, mind share your tasting notes or at least, let us know which years you tried?

hey! VineCellar

i tried one about few yrs b4!
i'm agree with u
but i don see many greek wines in the market

我又覺得, 如果同一款酒而你又有幾支既話, 未熟時就開黎飲都係好既, 因為反而可以睇到支酒的變化, 到過幾年再飲又會有另一種體會嘛

i have fair impression from Duetz and it can be available in Watson's.  it seems not bad anyway.

To kenzo1111,

Penfold's Bin 389 and St. Henri Shiraz are also very good for normal function drinking. If you got a chance try the year 96 Bin 389 and also year 2001 St. Henri, these two years are outstanding year. Of course, I will only drink those premium like Grange, RWT, Hill of Grace in some special evening. If I'm rich enough like Mr. Lee Ka Shing then I'll drink Grange every day.  

To tailawyau,
Sorry I feel sharing the tasting note is useless as what I taste is different from what you think, so I suggest you try it by yourself. Like myself, I hate Merlot and I like Shiraz, Cab. Sau very much, it is true and no point argue, just try it and you can tell me later which one like the most. But I can't tell you the quality of South Australia red wine (Barossa) is great; you will need to pay at 3 times more for the similar quality French wine. Yes the good French wine is very good but you must go for the very expensive one, if you go for the French wine less than HK$500 for just 1 bottle, I will prefer spend my money to get two bottles of Penfold's Bin 389 or 407.

This is my own opinion.

G string lover,
brother, u should come out to join our gathering la...no need to bring Grange..haha
I have 389 98 and still cellar a bottle and tried 2001 St Henri's, just very hard and long time for maturing.

Just like me, i have no favorite on rich Aussie Shiraz but always like blending wine and old world wine.
No arguement also.

bro dejavu

Deutz is one the most economic Champagne available in Watson's.  The quality is not too bad I think, but I have never try their vintage Champagne.  For a vintage Blanc de Blancs, it should be very elegant with style and should be a delicate one.  But I think you should cellar it for a long time in order to let her fully mature
