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。

這酒莊的酒是屬於輕巧優雅的，稍有不慎會給人一個淡淡的感覺。這支酒的酒力很強，酒香的複雜度很高，餘韻亦長，是有一定質素的。酒味在口中感覺上約了點，如果佐餐的話很容易被食物的味道掩蓋，是慢慢喝的一支酒。

這支酒的香料味道出奇的複雜，有點令到他不像這條村的作品，酸度仍算強，但酒的香氣和酒味強度也很強，但是酒味在口中的感覺，不像香氣那種濃烈成熟，反而轉為較清爽明澈，餘韻亦比想像中短，幾好喝。我感覺酒莊好像想做一款很濃烈的葡萄酒，在香氣是很成功的，但在酒味及口中轉化方便，似乎仍需要努力。
