似一枝熟透的白酒多過似一枝香檳。酒香力度強，複雜性以成熟莎當妮酒為主，亦有點點氧化的感覺了。酒的酸度仍保持到，而酒味亦與酒香一致，餘韻亦長。不錯，但如果你喜歡欣賞香檳氣泡的話就會令你失望了。

Fairly long length with red cherry finish. (93)

酒香強勁複雜，餘韻長。酒有著意大利酒一貫的酸度特色，單寧較有咬口。酒味在口中複雜性差了點而且與酒香頗一致，這酒的酒體混和圓滿，很可口的。

好味的一枝酒。發展得很不錯，酒香的複雜性頗誘人，而且有一定強烈。口感柔順豐厚，餘韻亦長，只是酒味在口中的複雜性沒有想像中那麼好，但已可好好享受，也會令人回味的。

工工整整的一枝布根地酒。酒香比酒味吸引，不論在複雜性及力度也是，特別是酒味在口中簡單了點。餘韻出奇的有點長，令人有點意外，不錯。

感受到在較熱年份的酒，香味欠了布根地的幽香，但多了較濃的漿果感。酒的力度及複雜性皆不錯，餘韻亦算長，酒味在口中有一點變化，加了點分。也是一隻好飲的酒品。

試過不同年份的這款香檳，這枝的水準較其他的差了點。仍有一定的香氣及複雜性，但強度及餘韻皆比其他的年份差，似乎2000年的香檳真的不是十分靚。整體仍是可口的，風格亦保持到，只是酒質差了點。

靚酒一枝。靚的意思是飲得其時。酒的發展全面，酒香強而複雜，這複雜性在口中仍有一點點變化。餘韻算長，收結也吸引，要彈的是酒味在口中跌了點，但酒味的複雜性足以令人再三回味，正。

以奧比安來說這是中規中矩而已。酒香及酒味也有著地區風格，酒是濃厚的，複雜性也不錯，只是酒味在口中差了點，而且鬆散了點。整體也是好飲的。

1996 Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Cros Parantoux, Domaine Emmanuel Rouget

這酒給人一種濃厚的感覺，酒香非常吸引，像有說不出數量的香料似的，誰說酒香不能令人想入非非? 口感豐富餘韻亦長，只是酒味在口中的複雜性下跌了點，但已是一枝令人回味的酒品了。

Slightly longer than medium length. (91)

 這酒像是很有深度似的。聞酒香時它很像想說給你知他有多複雜。事實上，這酒的香氣真的頗吸引。可是在喝下去時，雖然單寧仍是順滑的，口感亦柔順，但它的酒味下降了，餘韻亦比想像短了。是年份的問題嗎?還是酒香給我過高的期望?我想兩者皆是。

酒香高貴之餘也有一定力度及複雜性，酒味與酒香一致。餘韻不夠長，單寧有點青，所以扣了點分，但整體也是不錯的一枝酒。

香氣及酒味均複雜強烈， 餘韻亦長，反映了這酒的高質素。酒香及酒味亦頗有層次，酒質順滑，口感較一致，唯酒味的變化不大，故在酒中也沒大驚喜，但已經好好飲了。
