酒香很出眾，花果味都很好，又強又有一定複雜性。但是酒在口的強度下降了不少，味道亦由花果味變得以果味為主，餘韻合格，幾好喝，但係根據這個表現，亦不太像NSG，佐餐不錯，但我也不能說這就很有深度⋯⋯

 

2016 Ch. La Tour Carnet

Deep purple coloured with close to pronounced level aromas of blackcurrant, black plum, mint, violet, cedar and touch of dried leaf and earthy, pretty complex.

Medium length with black cherry finish. (89) Strong nose but fading in palate.

香氣誇啦啦，入口之後酒味不論強度同複雜性都下跌了不少。餘韻合格，中中等等的一支酒，食飯喝很好，但係會感覺到佢有少少質素，但係不是很高質的⋯⋯

1990 Ch. Lafite Rothschild

A deep purple coloured dry red Bordeaux with quite intense noses of blackcurrant, bell pepper, pencil shaving, cedar and touch of graphite and blueberry. Medium acidity and alcohol, quite full bodied with medium soft and ripe tannin. On palate it gives over medium intensity flavours of blueberry, black plum, licorice, bell pepper and earth.

二十幾年的酒友這樣的表現真的很神奇，酒的強度冇得頂。香氣及味道都顯得成熟複雜，亦有強度，大熟大勇的狀態。難得的是，酒在口中的果味仍然充盈，餘韻亦很長，好酒一支，似乎已在適飲期，而且相信它的識飲期很長⋯⋯

酒香出色，係非常之出色，強而複雜，有深度，像在說故事似的。酒的強度一直延至口中，口感柔順餘韻算長，好喝，酒味由濃烈方向轉向陰柔，有一點變化，好酒一支，絕對係適合慢慢品嚐的美酒

始終係我最喜愛的Riesling酒莊，酒力強，複雜性高，品種特性明顯，酒比一般的Riesling豐富濃厚，餘韻亦長，好喝。單純品飲角度來說，這個酸度是高了點，但性質並不尖削，夏天喝一流，好酒，還可再陳年讓它的複雜性更好展現。

如果只準我喝一款Riesling，那一定會是這款

也許是年份問題吧，酒的單寧有點青。不過香氣很好，強烈濃厚，亦很複雜。餘韻亦長，只是酒在口中的味道不及香氣那樣出色。整體來說表現不錯，相信在一個好些的年份，這酒會有上佳表現。似乎我又要出去搵下⋯⋯

2014 Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Gaudichots, Domaine Forey Pere & Fils

A deep ruby dry red burgundy with pronounced noses of rose perfume, red plum, dried strawberry, anise, cedar and touch of dust.

(910 Good complexity but fading quick in palate, need better length too.

第一下印象係複雜性好，但係酒在口中的強度不足。年份可能亦有影響，單寧有些枝梗味。酒的香氣比酒味出色，餘韻合格有餘，不錯，但相信有進步空間，看看好年的如何，才可更準確評估酒莊功力。

(89) Decent and good balance. Smooth mouthfeel too

輕鬆、柔順、可口的一支酒。各樣表現中中等等，特別是酒的丹寧不強，搞到支酒有點點果汁的感覺。值得讚的是酒的香氣，其餘各方面四平八穩，四四正正的餐酒。

2017 Chambolle Musigny Les Charmes 1er Cru, Domaine Gerard Mugneret

Deep intensity ruby colour with quite intense noses of rose, dried strawberries, candied redcurrant, cabbage and licorice, it is dry with medium acidity, alcohol and bodied.

酒的力度算強勁，香氣亦很好，只是以這條村來說是重了一點。酒的口味反而更符合這條村的感覺，但強度不及香氣，餘韻亦合格以上，難得的是這支酒的丹寧出奇的成熟柔順，不像2017年的酒，整體來說是一支好喝的酒品

1995 Carruades de Lafite

A deep intensity purple coloured dry red wine with quite intense aromas of black plum, menthol, violet, vanilla and touch of mineral and earth.

強度戰勝一切的一支酒。接近30年的陳年，仍有着這樣的強度是十分難得的。酒有着標誌性的波爾多左岸紅酒感覺，但是除此之外在沒有什麼令人覺得驚喜的地方，酒味在口中的複雜性簡單了不少，餘韻亦比想像中短，幾好喝。但這酒在口中的複雜性真的令我覺得簡單了⋯⋯
