接近夏天的感覺，很熟很濃的果感，似乎你00咁年全個歐洲所都好熱咁。果味濃郁、單寧成熟，餘韻算長，好喝的。複雜性尚算不錯，但被果味掩蓋不少，但仍感受到品種的特色，希望發展一下，應該更好。

難得的酒，也是難得的品飲經驗。似乎2008年的香檳是一個頗特別的年份，給我的感覺是可以早一點飲用。這感覺可能是來自酒的酸度感。試過幾個不同酒莊，他們的香檳酸度一點也不削，再加上成熟甜美的果感，令人愛不釋口，不斷咁飲。這酒也是一樣。酒的表現全在中上，礦物感在口中較為突出，好好喝的酒。

可以一個字去形容，說是鮮！酒很鮮爽，造工可以說是飲得出咁公整，口感更有著接近標誌性的 BDN 感覺，拎去考酒試用一流（一笑）。酒的整體表現中上，餘韻算長，好喝，是一枝很稱職的香檳，不論用作佐餐或剩飲，頭盤或甜品也可。

三十幾年酒仍有著強烈的黑果感，酒的發展是成熟的，複雜性也很好，餘韻亦長，但單寧仍強。我會判斷是適飲狀態，再放多一段時間可能可以令口感更柔順，但酒味發展亦要考慮一下。酒是好酒來的，濃郁之選。
