大吉利是，支酒未死，不過唔會有好耐。酒難得仍有一些果感，品種表現出色，不論香氣或酒味也是一枝過了適飲期的酒，餘韻仍是唔錯，老酒感十足，但我覺得老過頭。

估唔到咁快有機會試。強勁、有力、濃厚集於一身。複雜性還待展現，畢竟仍很年輕，但亦開始有一點點的複雜氣味滲出來，長長餘韻亦顯示酒質，單寧一如所料的硬朗，仍需時間馴化，對這酒有一定期待。

1999 Luciano Sandrone Aleste-Cannubi Boschis, Barolo

可口的巴洛洛。酒力強勁，有標誌性的香味而且十分清晰，單寧柔順成熟。酒味在口中強度不及酒香，但也算強，餘韻亦長，好喝。

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。

1958 Giacomo Conterno Monfortino, Barolo Riserva

This wine still has medium ruby colour, with a touch of haziness. The aromas is so intense and complex that it has dried herbs, road tar, mint, rose tea, tree barks, leather and trace of sour cherry.

On palate it gives quite high intensity red cherry, licorice, spice box, British tea, leather and traces of dried rose and tar. Long length. (93) I wish I could meet him 10 years ago.

有些酒是會說故事的，像藝術品，這枝是一個例子。近六十年的歷史，這酒像一個步入老年的人在說故事。強烈的酒香說著他自己的發展過程，好像由花果香開始一路發展至陳酒的皮革味的整個故事。酒在口中的表現說著這酒步入老年了，平衡度仍在，但在苦苦支撐的，酒味的強度仍在，餘韻悠長，表現出它本身優秀的質素。酒體在口中鬆散了些，但畢竟已有這年歲。如果早十年飲相信會是一枝傳奇。

1989 Barolo, Francesco Rinaldi & Figli

This dry red wine has quite deep intensity ruby colour. On nose it gives quite high intensity aromas of red plum, red cherry, rose, mint, anise and licorice.

酒香不錯，也反映到品種特色。酒的整體表現中上，四四正正的，酒味不及酒香的強。餘韻也不錯。 是可口的一枝酒，佐餐一流的。

 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。

1985 Barolo, Poderi Luigi Einaudi

This dry red wine still has quite deep ruby colour. On nose it gives medium intensity aromas of black plum, dried herb, black tea, licorice and touch of prune.

 難得酒色和果味還那麼鮮活，酒的強度在口中比香氣強，但複雜性卻相反。餘韻算長，很不錯的酒。此酒的酸度帶有一點點削，但不礙品飲，整體不錯，但不太建議再作陳年了。

1979 Barolo, Aurelio Settimo

Quite deep ruby colour with medium intensity red berry, tar, mint tea, rose pedal and touch of caramel, it is dry with medium acidity, alcohol and bodied. Quite high tannin but coarse.

 陳年的巴洛洛把葡萄的品種特色表露無遺。酒亦有一點陳年感。發展成熟，甚至有點過時，但可飲用，保存得很不錯。酒的強度在口中比香氣強，複雜性仍算好，餘韻亦長，好飲。

2005 Romirasco Barolo Bussia, Aldo Conterno

With medium acidity and alcohol, this deep ruby dry red wine has medium intensity nose of rose jam, black berry, mint leaf, clove and touch of road tar.

感受到2003年的熱力，這枝酒果味成熟，風格亦凸出。但可能熟得有點過度，酒少了一點優雅感。

有點輕巧感，但亦有一定複雜性，可能是花的香味比較突出。餘韻長而複雜，酒在口中味道變化不大，與酒香頗一致。與朋友輕鬆地暢飲時最好。
