2008 Charmes Chambertin, Les Charmeuses

Quite deep ruby coloured with medium intensity noses of ripe red plum, stewed berry, rose, earth, licorice, some sign of maturity too. It is dry with medium acidity, medium bodied and alcohol, medium fine grained tannin. On palate it gives medium intensity flavours of rose, strawberry, red plum skin, earth and touch of nutmeg. Medium length with red plum finish. (90) rather light and medicore.

一支似村酒的特級田，正正常常，所有方面都中中等等，只是複雜性比一般的村酒好。好處是即開即飲，表現一致⋯⋯死啦，我咁講係贊緊還是彈緊佢？

2015 Nuits Saint Georges, Domaine Sylvain Cathiard & Fils

Deep ruby coloured dry red burgundy with fairly intense aromas of rose perfume, red berry, strawberry candy, floral garden and vanilla. Medium acidity and alcohol with medium bodied and fine grained medium ripe tannin. On palate it gives medium intensity flavours of red plum, rose pedal, wild red cherry, licorice and touch of earth and mushroom. Medium length with red plum finish. From intense to subtle, need better intensity on palate. Goof floralness (90)

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. It is dry with medium acidity and alcohol. Full bodied with medium ripe and fine grained tannin. On palate it gives medium intensity flavours of black cherry, blackcurrant, bell pepper and vanilla. 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. Close to long length with blueberry finish. (94）Wonderful performance, with this age.

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⋯⋯
