 開酒時香氣已經很強，以這個APPELLATION來說是出色的。酒入口後第一個感覺是乾淨。果味條理分明，絕不含糊。複雜性不錯，以播干來說是中上的表現，木桶帶來的影嚮也恰到好處。很好，很抵飲的酒。

正路過正露丸。劃一條水平線的話，基本上跟到足之外，香氣突出一點，而且餘韻也不錯。感覺強大的，亦有一定複雜性，幾好飲，但放多一兩年會更好。

輕巧陰柔，香氣強但給人一種陰柔感，很好的風格表現。香料及果味的平衡好。以這年份來說單寧也很不錯。酒味在口中不及香氣那麼吸引，餘韻亦合格有餘，幾好喝，很有園野風味的酒。

爽朗的，酒酸的性質有點點削，希望時間會令其圓潤一點，但現在飲不影嚮佐餐。酒的味說仍是以果味為主，偏向清爽類的，也是需要一些時間等待發展，酒的質素不錯，餘韻亦長，可以陳年一下。現在用作餐酒較理想一些。

The Macallan The Harmony Collection Rich Cacao

 Medium intensity copper colour with close to pronounced level aromas of malt, chocolate, ginger, cinnamon, toasted hay and touch of heady notes. Water dilutes everything.

Slightly longer than medium length with honey malt finish. (92)

可口，香氣很好，強烈而又跟足主題。酒在口中表現四平八穩，像是加了黑朱古力的威士忌。建議剩飲，別加水或冰。這酒再一次顯示麥卡侖對大眾口味的把握是何其精準，這酒的味道頗大眾化，但除了多了點朱古力特色之外，跟一枝十二年的威士忌沒有大分別。

On palate it gives quite intense flavours of prune, dried plum, blueberry cake and touches of vegetal, a bit heady too. Close to long length with prune type dried fruit finish. (93) Very rich, concentrated and full.

其實一個字可以講晒枝酒：濃。接近葡萄乾酒的感覺，很重口，真係會覺得飲到飽咁。造酒的葡萄很成熟，這點可以從酒的果感及酒精感體驗出來，酸度有點跟不上，酒在口中濃濃的，餘韻悠長，令人回味，差不多可以當飯後酒似的。

2008 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers, Domaine Sylvain Cathiard

優雅得來又不太濃烈的香氣，花果香料味的平衡，真的令人置身大自然的感覺，這酒的餘韻比較令我驚喜，酒力不算很強勁但有著比想像中長的餘韻，口感亦不重，好味。

已經20年多的酒仍有那樣的果感是很令人喝得開心的，亦印證咗這酒的品質。酒的各方面也是中上的，尤其是口感。酒的發展很好，雖然仍可陳年，但現在飲的狀態是成熟前的最後一刻，喜愛多一點果味而又成熟的酒的朋友，現在喝會很喜歡。好味，亦飲得很暢快。

高質素的餐酒，酒力強勁，亦有一定複雜性，如果餘韻長一點就是一枝佳釀了。花果感好，香料味可能要多些時間發展。酒精感突出了一點，扣了點分。口感鮮爽，佐餐一流的。希望時間會幫它再作提升。

深藏不畢，酒香不太強，但慢慢滲出其複雜性，入口感覺豐滿，又不太像很多其他的MONTRACHET那麼油潤，可是酒味的澎湃令人喜愛，酒力是轟進來的，再加上長的餘韻，完全的一匹後上馬，越嗒越好味的，正。
