優雅得來又不太濃烈的香氣，花果香料味的平衡，真的令人置身大自然的感覺，這酒的餘韻比較令我驚喜，酒力不算很強勁但有著比想像中長的餘韻，口感亦不重，好味。

已經20年多的酒仍有那樣的果感是很令人喝得開心的，亦印證咗這酒的品質。酒的各方面也是中上的，尤其是口感。酒的發展很好，雖然仍可陳年，但現在飲的狀態是成熟前的最後一刻，喜愛多一點果味而又成熟的酒的朋友，現在喝會很喜歡。好味，亦飲得很暢快。

高質素的餐酒，酒力強勁，亦有一定複雜性，如果餘韻長一點就是一枝佳釀了。花果感好，香料味可能要多些時間發展。酒精感突出了一點，扣了點分。口感鮮爽，佐餐一流的。希望時間會幫它再作提升。

深藏不畢，酒香不太強，但慢慢滲出其複雜性，入口感覺豐滿，又不太像很多其他的MONTRACHET那麼油潤，可是酒味的澎湃令人喜愛，酒力是轟進來的，再加上長的餘韻，完全的一匹後上馬，越嗒越好味的，正。
