1997 Cote Rotie La Landonne, E. Guigal

A deep purple dry red wine with pronounced aromas of black plum, blackberries, smoke, pepper, rosted herb, licorice evolving to game and meaty. It has medium acidity and alcohol. Quite full bodied with medium fine-grained tannin. On palate it gives higher than medium flavours of pepper, black cherry, licorice smoke. Long length with blackberries and spicy finish. (92) Good complexity and intense but the complexity cannot bring from nose to palate. Good one.

如果只係計酒的香氣，呢枝酒絕對值95分以上。但此複雜的酒香到口後變得無咁精彩。口感仍好，餘韻亦長，好酒一枝。
