十多年的紐西蘭黑皮諾發展得很好，本身年份應記一功。酒的強度、複雜性、口感、丹寧都融合得圓滿，喝得很舒服，餘韻亦合格有餘，令人回味，好酒，現在喝亦好飲

20多年的酒發展成熟一點也不出奇，所以酒的複雜性是一定有的，各種標誌性的成熟味道也能感受出來，更難得的是他仍然保存着那種酒的強度，餘韻亦長，顯示出這酒的生命力是多麼強。很工整，亦很好味。

簡單直接的白酒一支，強度算足夠有餘，酒味比較簡單一點，但是喝得出酒的果味是成熟的，亦感受到釀造的者想做到的風格，不錯的餐酒

好少酒的酒香較重而酒味較輕，這支酒是其中之一。酒的強度中規中矩，酒香的複雜性比酒味好一點，整體上都是中中等等的，看一看價錢便覺得是一個笑話，幾好喝，但絕不說得上是一件精品

淨係阿婆兩個字都話俾你聽呢支酒嘅酒力好強，但係這支酒的唯一優點就是酒力強，不論在酒香及酒味方面也是。酒的風格，其實是偏薄身及簡單的，再加上正常的餘韻，變成一支中上的餐酒，幾好喝，但不要與阿婆的其他酒相比

典型的波爾多好酒，酒的強度冇得頂，亦有着標誌性的果味及發展出來的複雜性，沒有什麼地方可以挑剔的，但也不會令人覺得有任何驚喜，如果盲飲的話，大家一定會知道它是一支很好的酒，相信吸引的印象也只有好喝兩個字，其實咁都已經足夠啦

酒的香氣誇啦啦，黑皮諾的感覺滿滿的。酒香很好，又複雜，頗引人入勝。酒味在口中突然轉重了，但仍然保存着強度，有趣的酒品，餘韻亦合格有餘，幾好喝，但未必是人人喜歡的布艮地表現

清爽淡麗而又保持Riesling 的特性，很好的一款輕身而充滿花果香的酒。口感豐富，亦有足夠的酒味。雖然複雜性略嫌不足，餘韻亦稍有點短，但整體來說是一個很好喝的餐酒。

教科書一樣的品種特色，清晰得來帶着一層層的複雜性，酒力強勁，餘韻亦算長，很好喝的一款酒，這酒的好處似乎是不管早喝或陳年都給到品飲者穩定的水準，好喝，亦很高水準，因為這酒較易被不同級數的品飲者理解
