一枝近半世紀的酒還有這表現很不錯。酒香很出色，酒身輕巧而仍有一點單寧，酒味在口中力量及複雜性也下降了些，餘韻尚算不錯，幾好飲。老而彌堅的酒。

一枝複雜得來清爽精準的白中白香檳。強烈複雜的香氣和酒味，足夠的酸度和綿綿的口感，再加上長長的餘韻，直接講明它是一枝出色的香檳。酒的味道清爽明快，易於理解，酒味方向條理分明，好好飲。係一枝令人明白有一定造酒功力的酒。

完全感受到這酒從木桶中提取了很多味道出來。酒的香氣和酒味都是中上的，餘韻亦算長。酒的味道偏重的方向，較濃和偏向香料味，但仍有著麥卡倫那種四四正正的平衡感，不錯。

甜品一樣的酒，甜酸平衡算好，餘韻長，果味濃郁，亦有其品種特色，很公整的。酒的力度算強，但酒的複雜度不算很高，假以時日再發展一下可能會多些複雜性，到時的酸度希望保持得到。現在飲作為甜酒很不錯，陳年之後可能有另一種感受的。

1985 Barolo, Poderi Luigi Einaudi

 難得酒色和果味還那麼鮮活，酒的強度在口中比香氣強，但複雜性卻相反。餘韻算長，很不錯的酒。此酒的酸度帶有一點點削，但不礙品飲，整體不錯，但不太建議再作陳年了。

2012 Marc Hebrart Noces de Craie Blanc de Noirs Champagne

 睇顏色很難看出是 BdN，只有在入口很發覺這酒較硬的結構才發覺這不像一般的香檳。不錯的酒香強度，有清爽感。入口後這酒的質素才顯現出來，酒力及複雜性在口中比酒香好，餘韻亦長，好飲，有點深藏不露的感覺，令人有點驚喜。

 是一枝較濃厚的 CORTON CHARLEMAGNE，年份亦加添了熟果感，令酒的口感變得圓潤。酒香及酒味都有一定強，複雜性及田土特性也在中上程度，是一枝出色的酒。酒在口中的成熟感較高，餘韻長，好飲。

Tasted on 29 December 2016

這酒的香料味很出眾，酒香撲鼻誘人，餘韻算長。酒味在口中的強度下降了點，香料味亦少了，扣了些分，但以此年份能造成這樣的也要加些分。好飲。

 用清純來形容有點眨低了這酒的複雜性，酒的強度不錯，餘韻亦長，中上酒質的。這酒有酒力和複雜性之餘亦有一份清爽感，令我想起另一個酒莊的產品
Bonneau du Martray，好飲。

 酒香很好，加點點水亦有驚喜。酒在口中的醇厚感低了些，餘韻長而帶點複雜性，很不錯。只是酒味在口中的複雜性下降了些。整體來說仍貫徹著麥卡倫的風格，四四正正的。

Tasted on 2 December 2016

 這酒的強度好，複雜性其實不錯，反映田土特色。單寧有一點微微的青，但以這酒的風格來看也好像不太礙事。酒味在口中跟酒香一致，但複雜感下降了點。餘韻長而吸引，好飲。這酒的風格路線似較輕盈，以這樣強的酒香很以為會有濃的口感，但這酒不會，反而是一種纖巧柔和，像細水長流的感覺，不強勁但有點如沐春風。酒質好，希望有機會試一枝較好年份的，但我相信並不是人人都喜歡這風格的酒。

1999 Richebourg, Domaine de la Romanee Conti

A deep ruby coloured dry red wine with close to pronounced intensity aromas of black plum, licorice, anise, black cherry, rose perfume, black tea. Medium acidity and alcohol, fuller than medium bodied with quite high ripe tannin. On palate it gives quite high intensity flavours of rose, red plum, licorice, earth, damp wood and British tea. Long red plum finish. (93)

DRC 那複雜的香氣十分誘人，酒的口感豐盈，餘韻長而果味足，令人回味。只是酒在口中的複雜感低了點，扣了些分，但仍是一枝十分出色的酒品。

這酒複雜性很好，酒力強，餘韻長，好飲的。值得一提的是這酒的果味在口中比酒香更濃更熟，但又不失田土特色，很不錯。這酒莊的單一葡萄園酒很少令人失望，值得再三回味。
