2005 Clos de Beze, Domaine Prieur Roch

Deep ruby with pronounced level aromas of candied cherry, plum, rose jam, sweet vanilla, damp earth and trace of licorice. It is dry with medium acidity, medium alcohol and quite full bodied, soft ripe medium tannin too. The flavours have all the characters of that of the aromas with close to long length and black plum finish. (94)

這莊的酒那種濃烈的醬果感已經不用多說,除此之外還有著一定複雜的香氣,一路貫徹直至吞埋落肚,酒味仍是醬果主導。可以說是果香強勁,要多一些更平衡的酒風睇怕要多一定的陳年時間,否則只適合一些追求爆果感覺的人。酒的質素是高的,不過我會喜愛它發展多一點的層次。

Tesseron Great Smoker

Medium copper in colour with medium intensity of prune, dates, honey, dried apricot, peach and trace of limestone and jasmine. Water brings out floral notes. It is dry with rather low acidity, medium alcohol and  quite full bodied. On palate it gives over medium intensity of lemon, jasmine, toasted walnut and caramel flavours. Longer than medium length with citrus and jasmine finish. (93) Pretty complex.

頗有趣的,酒是有不錯的複雜性,是徘徊在花果及堅果之間的味道,酒的強度並不是很特出,但是酒味在風格上的遊走已經令人覺得有趣。好好玩似的。酒的口感醇厚,餘韻比想像中短了點,整體是一枝很不錯的酒。

On palate it gives quite high intensity flavours of honey, ginger, nutty, bitter almond and trace of cedar. Fairly long length with dried fruit finish. (92) Keep changing.......

也是一個難得的品飲經驗。 如果說是受拉菲桶的影響,那應該是木桶味道有少少不正統的感覺,像是松木似的。 酒底像普通的單一麥芽威士忌,但背後有着一些生果和干邑的香氣,很特別。強度及複雜性也很好,在餘韻中更展現出較強的乾果感,很有趣。十分成功反映出紅酒木桶的影響,但似乎與拉菲沒有特別關係。

1969 Glenfarclas Family Casks Single Malt Whisky (Bottled in 2014)

This single malt whisky has medium gold colour. On nose it has close to pronounced level aromas of toasted malt, honey, sweet spice, grain, caramel, maltose and trace of ginger. Water brings out floral notes. It is dry with medium acidity, medium alcohol and full bodied. Touch of wood tannin is detected too. The flavour intensity is over medium with flavours of lemon, honey, toasted malt, ginger and caramel. Fairly long length with ginger malty finish. (93) Good nose.

以這樣陳年的酒來說,是交足貨的。木桶的影嚮很合適,不會太搶過酒的一些味道。酒的強度和複雜性也很好,餘韻亦算長。酒的香氣比口感吸引。這年份的酒我喝過不少,不同批次的分別也算明顯,所以很容易有不同品飲結果,但全都不會令人失望。
