酒的強度不錯，複雜性有點點不足，令到酒精感突出了點點。酒在口中的成熟感反而更明顯，餘韻算長。以品質來說尚算符合一枝三十多年的威士忌，但用這價錢則有很多比它更好的選擇。

2010 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Hauts Doix, Domaine & Selection (Laurent Ponsot)

Quite deep ruby coloured with over medium intensity aromas of red plum, cherry jam, forest floor, cabbage, mushroom, rose and touch of charcoal. It is dry with medium acidity, medium alcohol and fuller than medium bodied. The tannin is soft and ripe at medium level. On palate, it gives slightly higher than medium intensity flavours of red plum, rose jam, redberry, forest floor, cabbage and touch of meat. Fairly long length with red plum finish. (92)

以這村來說，這酒偏向濃厚，酒的單寧很滑，香氣強度及複雜性也不弱，亦有一定田地特色，餘韻亦長，好飲。酒還可有一些發展，但現飲已經好好味。

一枝放了廿年的一級田村酒 ，發展成熟，酒香亦強烈，有一定複雜性。酒味在口中的礦物感出多了點，餘韻亦算長，幾好味。酒的口感較爽，不像很多陳年布根地白酒般油潤，這種風格好易會令人覺得淡，但這酒還不會。酒已經到頂了，喝它吧!

1977 Glenfarclas Family Cask Single Malt Whisky

Medium intensity gold colour with pronounced noses of malt, honey, grain, smoke, seaweed and touch of iodine, orange and grass. Water brings out touch of floralness. It is dry with medium acidity, quite full bodied with quite high warming alcohol. On palate, it gives slightly over medium intensity flavours of grain, smoke, seaweed, citrus peel. Fairly long grainy length and finish. (92)

 酒香不錯，加點點水會更香。有著蒸餾廠的剛烈風格，餘韻亦算長，味道傾向傳統的穀物甘甜味，沒太強花果風味。酒在口中複雜性欠了點，所以有點寡。整體幾好飲，但不會是一個很大路，很多人喜歡的酒。

1996 Tokaji Aszu Essencia, Royal Tokaj

This sweet wine has medium mahogany colour. On nose it has fairly high intensity aroams of maple leaf, grass, dried apricot, mineral, honey, citrus peel and touch of stone. Quite high in acidity, full bodied with lower than medium alcohol. On palate it gives medium flavours of prune, apricot, honey, mineral and touch of breakfast tea. Longer than medium length with apricot finish. (92)

甜酒的酸甜平衡很重要，這酒算是做得不錯。酒香算強，亦有一定複雜性，礦物質感也不錯，酒味在口中強度下降了，餘韻亦算長，幾好飲。可以說這酒本身就是一道甜品。

1970 Ch. Latour

Deep purple colour with pronounced level aromas of black plum, menthol, blackcurrant, violet, smoke, vanilla and graphite, quite unexpected. It is dry with medium acidity, alcohol and bodied with quite high fine grained tannin. On palate, it has slightly over medium intensity flavours of black cherry, plum, smoke, vanilla, toast, earth and touch of graphite. Fairly long length with black plum finish. (95) Quite consistent throughout and good complexity.

40多年酒一般已經開始飲歷史多過酒味了，但拉圖在捍衛著酒是可以永恆的信條。仍然有著強烈的酒香和酒味，複雜性充足，餘韻亦長，以表現說這酒完全與年齡不成正比。酒的表現由聞到吞也很一致。好好飲，靚酒真的可以有很強的生命力。老路縱橫的一枝好酒。

千貼感言

發覺剛剛在生日前發出了第一千個貼。

這一千個貼中，看標籤說有853個是品酒筆記來的，但我相信實際數字不只那麼少。原因有三: 1) 有些舊的品酒筆記沒有標籤到；2) 有些評酒比賽或遊戲的品酒筆記沒有正式的寫出來；3) 有些幫酒商試酒板的品酒筆記寫了，但要交給酒商，所以不能在這貼出。其後有機會再試的時候也不在這刊出，以免有做廣告之嫌。

這樣算來，相信我已寫下過千的品酒筆記了。

品酒筆記除了是我的品飲紀錄外，也是這裡和酒友交流的主要工具，十分好玩。

除了品酒筆記外，也有數十篇文章，這些材料通常也會在其他網上媒體及討論區刊登，所以反應比較少一點。

未來我仍會繼續按時出貼，而第二個故事亦密鑼緊鼓的進行中。今次的故事比上次的嚴謹及正經 (好多酒友都知我上次玩緊野)，而且有些資料要作一些研究，以可看性來說比上一個更精彩，希望大家喜歡。

謝謝大家的支持，多多交流啊! 科科........

76年酒，不失地區特色而又展現成熟酒的風味 ，仲有強勁的酒力和複雜性，餘韻又長，一枝好酒應該有的表現已差不多齊全了，只是酒在口感中結構鬆散了點，但仍是一枝出色的酒，別藏了，盡情喝吧!

1990 Ch. Margaux

This Margaux has deep purple colour and pronounced noses of blackcurrant, black cherry, bell pepper, smoke, violet perfume, and touch of charcoal. Complex, deep and wonderful nose. It is dry with medium acidity, medium alcohol and quite full bodied. Medium ripe and fine grained tannin too. On palate, it gives quite high flavours of blackcurrant, black berry, bell pepper, smoke, violet and touch of graphite. Fairly long length with black cherry finish. (96) Wonderfully concentrated and complex, still can age for a few years.

甚麼是深藏不露嗎? 這酒的香氣強烈，而且會引人入勝，酒像是說它有著很多不同的味道似的。酒香很濃，複雜性有層次，酒味亦然 ，餘韻長，好好飲，仍可陳年。瑪高區的酒很豔麗，這酒是一個很標準的高質素酒品，非常好飲。

1980 Muga Rioja Gran Reserva

It has medium acidity, alcohol and bodied with medium fine grain tannin, a bit green though. The flavour intensity is at medium level with flavours of red cherry, leather, licorice and touch of earth. Slightly long than medium length with red cherry finish. (91)

老鬼西班牙酒有一定成熟的魅力，但很多時如果陳年太耐會失去其可口的味道。可是這36年的酒說明了老而彌堅是甚麼。酒香強而仍有一定果味，酒味在口跌了點強度，但成熟紅酒的複雜性展現無遺，餘韻亦合格有餘，不錯，幾好飲。
