一枝尚待時間發展的村酒。濃度頗高，有一定複雜性，但相信仍有發揮空間的。單寧柔和，這個年份的酒好像很不錯，酒的香氣有點緊，現飲的話相信要透氣一段很長的時間。酒質很好，陳年一下會有更好的表現。

以村酒來說這酒的濃郁度算高。酒力強而有一定複雜性，餘韻也印證了這酒的集中度。酒的味度很分明，條理清晰，結構比較結實，可能是年份關係吧。好喝，仍可陳年，現飲亦已經很可口。

Medium fine grained tannin too. On palate it gives over medium intensity flavours of rose, cherry, mushroom, vegetal and touch of pine wood. Longer than medium length with red cherry finish. (92) Elegant but seems a bit over extracted.

好VR的一枝酒。香氣吸引，比入口好，結構有點硬硬的。酒的強度及複雜性合格有餘，亦有一定的餘韻。幾好喝，只是收尾感覺到有很輕微的苦澀，扣了些分。

果味及香料味滿滿的酒，不單止酒力強勁和複雜，那種味道融和的感覺令人喝得滿心歡喜。酒仍有一定發展潛力，但現在喝已經很好味。那餘韻亦令人回味無窮，好好味的，是會引人不斷添飲的酒。
