 好好飲。早喝這類酒一定是充滿鮮果的感覺。酒有著混合各種情況的果實感，由野果到熟果到醬果都齊，此外再加上一層層的香料複雜性，引人入勝的酒味。餘韻亦長，味道範圍很廣，令人喝得陶醉，唯一是年份問題，單寧有點點青，希望時間可以幫到一下。現在飲已經很好，不過相信放下會更精彩。

 同酒莊同水平的一同試，粉紅香檳給出了另一個風格。酒的強度及複雜性已經不用多說，酒的酸度足，而且有著這酒莊給我的印象那種尖削感。酒味因粉紅香檳關係多了紅果的特色，這特色在口中轉化多了一種微微的、像成熟紅酒的感覺，是另一種風味。很特別的品飲經驗。無得頂。

 優雅得來而有著強勁的酒味，直係一D都唔易㗎葉師傅。這酒的香氣由一倒酒已飄來，聞起來層次和強度鮮明，酒的酸度不太有著以前的尖削感，而是較柔順。酒味強、口感豐滿，很好喝。酒在口中仍有著其複雜性，餘韻長，一流的表現。是一枝難得的佳釀。

這些酒的口感真的很濃，強強的乾果口味，很重口。這表現了酒力的強勁 ，餘韻長長，力量型之選。有著這樣的醬果感，有點膩。已經三十多年仍有這表現，真的可以陳很夠，熟優熟劣真是見人見智了。好喝的，但不會令人不斷的斟來喝。

較重的泥土方面的表現，但仍存在著一定的花果香。酒的發展已成熟，口感很好，酒的複雜性在口中不及酒香，餘韻亦長，是一枝中上水平的酒品。好喝。

這酒進引人入勝的是他的酒香 ， 不單只複雜，而且強勁，有部份香氣是隱隱約約的，很誘惑。酒身重，酒我在口中維持其強度，直至餘韻也是長長的，值得讚賞的酒力。只是口中的複雜性不及酒香。酒還年輕，仍有一段長路，想信發展一下便會更好。

發展成熟，各方面也在中上水平，酒香複雜，亦感受到田地特色，很忠實的表現。三十多年的酒仍有著這強度的黑果，很難得，而且亦有成熟的風格，平衡得很好，不會有年輕那種力量，好喝，但不是追求澎湃力量的人所喜愛的類型。

香料味很好的，酒力亦算強， 酒味的強度不及酒香，而且味道頗一致。口感醇厚，餘韻亦算合格，不錯的酒。這酒是單一穀物的，整體造得很工整，不愛麥芽的人會幾喜歡。

酒香很好，香氣範圍廣泛，有一定強度，很正路的麥卡倫風格。 奇怪的是，酒在口中的表現有點簡單，餘韻算長。這酒聞比喝好得多了。但不像咁0年的老機麥。
