幾好味喎。酒香有甜美的果香之餘亦有麥芽威士忌的風格。酒是做得頗濃厚的,餘韻亦反映了這酒有一定的質素,酒味的複雜性也誘人,真的不錯。

初初感覺頗簡單的,口感比酒香好。這酒好像一枝典型的蘇格蘭威士忌,入口也算醇和,雖不算很有特色,但輕輕鬆鬆幾好飲。

果香甜美成熟複雜,酒香真的誘人,唯獨是強度差了點,這情況一直延至酒味,甚至餘韻。以酒味來說,這酒表現出比18年酒更老,只是酒的強度不足吧了。

雖然只有15年,但這酒有一點點成熟的規模感。酒的複雜性及力度不錯,幾好飲。品飲時想起它的12年酒,感覺這酒比它的同廠12年好多了,不禁令我懷疑這真的只有三年分別嗎?

20.11.14

聞比飲好的一款頗簡單的威士忌,酒味比酒香出奇地下降,酒力亦然。其他方面也是中規中矩,簡簡單單的一款酒品。

這蒸餾廠的酒的風格十分一致,但酒味的風格清晰度是隨著年分越見明確,清清爽爽的,整體是十分易飲易理解的。屬於清純直接類型的威士忌。幾正。

香氣的複雜程度以這年紀來說真的不錯,此酒亦與其較低年份的一樣簡單了點。餘韻算長,酒味亦較清晰,幾好飲。

JURA三竇最後一寶,也是我個人最喜愛的一款。 酒貫徹著產地的風格,酒香及酒味在複雜性及力度也不錯,餘韻亦是,口感亦算豐滿,幾好。

工整的,有著產地的特色。較偏向煙燻味的一款威士忌。適當的酒香及酒味,一般情度的複雜性。很輕鬆的一款酒。

變化頗大的一枝酒,不是說它的複雜性,而是酒香及酒味的變化大,很有趣。千萬別加太多水啊!

2000 Amarone della Valpolicella, Quintarella Giuseppe

This wine has dark ruby colour. On nose it gives pronounced aromas of black plum, dried black cherry, prune, vanilla, clove, raisin, blueberry, and touch of tea, dried leaf and brandy. It is dry with medium acidity. A touch of high alcohol and full bodied. The tannin is wonderfully soft and ripe, at medium level. The palate has over medium intensity flavours of black berry, mint leaf, licorice, and bitter almond. Fairly long length with red cherry finish, a touch of bitterness is detected. (93) Good typicity.


Tasted on 13 July 2014

Amarone,little bitter的意思當之無愧。酒香強勁複雜,亦反映出其品種特性和釀製方式。酒精感出了點但不會令人感到突兀,單寧更出奇的柔順。餘韻長,有一點點回甘,只是酒味相對簡單了點和弱了點,不過已經是一枝十分好的酒品了。
