After a hard day of work on weekend, wanna get rid of the tiresome by refreshing myself at Watson's Cellar, decided to consume a bottle as a gift for my tardiness to the bungalow in Lantau with my fds.
Welcomed by the sales in the cellar, it's almost 10pm, time to leave, so I just rush for sth between $400 so that we can have a decent tasting, end up, my request is... Shiraz...
In fact, the sales gave me 2 choices, Stag Leap (Wow, the big name from the US vs France competition!) and Clonakilla (Like a koala name, but the pattern is so authentic) , with no tasting. Well, doubtfully I try not to get both, until there is a point where I saw their wine vending machine, I spend my value-card for a zip of stag leap...
Not too impressive, but easy to drink,
so I finally go for the Clonakilla.
3 Hours later, I arrive at Lantau, we open the wine together with...violence as no bottle opener is available, we use...BBQ fork!!!!!!!~ Not to mention about the cork itself, but part of it is emerge into the wine, oaky oaky...
In fact I was impressed by this Shiraz Viognier a lot~
The pepper & spice is blending well with the blackberry fruit, balanced body, soft tannin, floral drink, easy to get new taster buy-in. Ready to drink and can last for at least 3 years longer without deterioriating. Would recommend to buy if it's...around $300, haha, still reasonable at this stage.

Trying to get this for a while, but it seems they have run out of stock in W.
