This dry red wine has quite intense ruby colour. On nose it has intense aromas of red plum, dates, ripe strawberry, warm earth, chestnut, licorice, thyme, mixed herb, very spicy. Medium acidity, alcohol and full bodied. The tannin is ripe and fine grained at medium level. On palate it has intense flavours of red plum, dates, thyme, basil leaf and licorice. Close to long length with red plum finish. (97) Wow....

有點夢幻，這酒的香料味，可以用怪獸來形容，香料箱不足以形容香料的多樣性，這近乎是一個百子櫃的香料箱。強度、複雜性和餘韻皆是中上水平，酒體醇厚，喝後感覺滿滿的，很開心。是難得一件的佳釀，也是我喝過最好的教皇新堡

2000 Chateauneuf de Pape Cuvee Da Capo, Domaine Pegau

Deep purple with pronounced noses of red plum blackberry mint licorice lavender smoke and earth, it is dry with medium acidity, medium alcohol and quite full bodied, touch of alcohol note. The tannin is quite high but ripe and fine grained. On palate it gives quite high intensity flavours of redberry, plum, mint and licorice. Close to long length with red plum finish. (94) I think this one has some condition problem.Wonderful nose still.

 可能是酒的狀態有點點問題，酒的香氣很好，令人感覺有一定深度。餘韻長亦表現其質素，酒精感稍稍重了點點。問題在於口中，複雜度及深度跌得很快，甚至有點散。但整體仍是好飲的。我保留對這酒的評價，直至下次試枝狀態好些的。

1998 Chateauneuf du Pape, Clos des Papes

A deep ruby wine with barely over medium noses of dried herb, hay, red berry, licorice and touch of oxidized notes. It is dry with medium acidity and alcohol. The tannins is at barely medium level but soft. Barely over medium flavours of red cherry, licorice, dried herb and touch of meaty. Fairly long length red berry and licorice finish. (90) Maybe due to its storage condition, a bit oxidation noted.

似乎有點開始氧化的感覺。酒的複雜性及酒力是好的，餘韻亦不錯，單寧柔順，如果不是有點氧化(但我相信這可能是個別的倉儲問題)，我相信這酒是有不錯的質素。

2004 Chateauneuf du Pape, Domaine de la Janasse

This is a deep purple wine with pronounced aromas of black cherry, violet, blueberry, smoke, mint, licorice with touch of warm brick. It is dry with medium acidity, alcohol. Fairly high fine-grained tannin and quite full bodied. On palate, it has slightly over medium flavours of black cherry, dried herb, warm brick and toast. Over medium length with spicy finish. (91) Good complexity but fade out quite quick.

好誘人的酒香，複雜濃郁，但口感跟不上，餘韻亦比想像短，有點失望(因為酒香比我太大期望了)，整體不錯。但酒的狀態好像跌得很快似的。

1989 Chateauneuf du Pape, Chateau de Beaucastel

This dry wine has fairly deep intensity ruby colour with garnet rim. On nose it has over medium intensity aromas of red cherry, heady, leather, earth and damp wood. It is dry with medium acidity, alcohol and bodied. Fine-grained medium tannin too. The flavour intensity is quite high, which is a bit surprise to me with this nose. Red cherry, strawberry, earth, licorice with touch of alcohol note. Long length with subtle cherry finish. (93) Fine and rather light now, still shows its good quality tho.

相信我會較喜歡這酒早一點的味道。酒有不錯的複雜性及力度，經年月洗禮之下酒亦醇了不少，餘韻是長的但很隱約，好酒，廿多年酒仍能有此表現，好得很。
