 很精彩的香氣。以複雜性來說是數一數二的。加水後反而溝淡了一些。酒力算強，餘韻亦長，是一枝佳釀，口感豐滿，香料味及乾果味突出，好喝。奇怪的是這酒一加冰或水便溝淡了不少，對酒的表現大打折扣，所以不建議加冰。

1996 Wolf Blass Cellar Reserve Shiraz

在果味與香料味徘徊之間，酒香由果味帶頭，入口後香料味反而走出來似的。品種風格也算突出，酒力強，有一定複雜性，餘韻亦長，好喝。口感重，尚需一些時間，想信可以再陳年一下。

這村的酒越來越沒有以前那種油油膩膩的牛油感，但在這酒內仍然找到一點，有點開心。酒很四正，梅索村的風格，酒香較酒味弱，酒在口中的表現好得多，餘韻亦算長，好喝的餐酒，好味。

發展不錯，成熟的香檳。酒的力度一般，酸度足，餘韻比想像中長，交到貨的。酒味較酒香發展得快，味道較熟，絕對啱飲。除非想陳到變歴史收藏，否則盡情喝吧！

變成一枝白酒了，不過仍不至於老去。酒的發展已經完全了，十分成熟。酒力不錯，沒有了香檳的氣泡，換來的是豐厚的酒體，另有一番滋味。酒的複雜性不算很出眾，餘韻尚算合格，不錯。喝的是歷史，是另一種品飲和欣賞的角度。

美麗的陳年感覺，複雜性發展得很好，口感微甜亦不膩，酒在口中的複雜性不減，酒力強、餘韻亦長，好飲。平衡感值得一讚。

公整圓潤的威士忌，十分商業化的產品，口味十分大眾化的，酒力算強，餘韻合格有餘。酒的複雜性也算合格，也可以算混桶很成功的酒，但也沒什麼特別的風格可以指出。

香料味很誘人的，酒的強度足，甚至乎有點重，不過複雜性好，令人口感滿滿，單寧還需時間，餘韻算長，品種特色及複雜性兼備，再發展一下會更好。

接近夏天的感覺，很熟很濃的果感，似乎你00咁年全個歐洲所都好熱咁。果味濃郁、單寧成熟，餘韻算長，好喝的。複雜性尚算不錯，但被果味掩蓋不少，但仍感受到品種的特色，希望發展一下，應該更好。

難得的酒，也是難得的品飲經驗。似乎2008年的香檳是一個頗特別的年份，給我的感覺是可以早一點飲用。這感覺可能是來自酒的酸度感。試過幾個不同酒莊，他們的香檳酸度一點也不削，再加上成熟甜美的果感，令人愛不釋口，不斷咁飲。這酒也是一樣。酒的表現全在中上，礦物感在口中較為突出，好好喝的酒。
