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

一種非筆墨所能形容嘅優雅輕柔感覺出現在酒力強勁、複雜性高的酒入邊，這種感覺十分神奇。酒的香氣及酒味，感覺偏向野生果實，再加上有點像雨後森林的清爽感，令人有如沐春風般的品飲享受，十分難得。好喝！

拉菲嘅魔力在於四平八穩，這酒也是一樣。更神奇的是酒的香氣以香料味為主調，但是酒在口中的時候，果味反而比香料味更出色，餘韻長、酒力強、複雜性高，係高質的，亦沒什麼可彈。

香氣真係冇得頂，又強又複雜，淨係揸住個杯聞都已經很開心。酸度醒神而感覺柔和，口感豐富，餘韻長。酒在口中的複雜性減少了一些，但仍然有齊全的酒味感覺，現在看似乎還是早喝了一點，相信還可放多一段頗長的時間。

有標誌性的教皇新堡風格的酒，複雜性及酒力也很不錯，單寧亦很柔順。酒在口中那種乾果感覺很好，在喝的過程亦感覺到其產地那種熱力。有可能也是這熱力吧，現在喝感覺到酒的酸度開始有點下降，有貨的，應該快快喝掉。

保持着一貫的清爽，精準風格。酒的強度及複雜性也很好。條理分明、口感豐盈，酒在口中的表現比香氣更清爽，與上一次喝的感覺不同。上一次生果的感覺比較成熟，但這次的並不一樣，很有趣，一支仍在發展中香檳，很期待下一次再喝的感覺。

酒的香氣很好，不論在強度、複雜性、層次及風格也是。酒在口中表現減了分，酒力及餘韻仍是合格有餘的，口感亦算柔順，是一支很不錯的餐酒。這酒莊的正牌酒質素很高，但以這支副牌來說只是一支中規中矩的。
