中上水平的巴洛洛。香氣及酒味的強度和複雜性頗一致，亦充份反映出田土特色，發展平衡成熟，可飲可陳，幾好味的。

 四十多年的酒仍有這種熟果感已經值得一讚。合適強度的酒香有著合理的複雜性和品種特色，好。酒味在口中反而更強，但複雜性又反而低了，餘韻亦長，好飲的。這酒由倒酒落杯至吞下的表現很不一致，很得意，但幾享受這品飲過程。

Fuller than medium bodied with fairly high fine grained tannin, together with slightly higher than medium flavours of black cherry, tar, coal and touch of mint. Longer than medium length with black berry finish. (91)

酒香頗吸引，複雜性高，可是濃度不是那麼強。餘韻不錯，酒味的強度也可以，複雜性亦合格，幾好飲。
