有點夢幻，這酒的香料味，可以用怪獸來形容，香料箱不足以形容香料的多樣性，這近乎是一個百子櫃的香料箱。強度、複雜性和餘韻皆是中上水平，酒體醇厚，喝後感覺滿滿的，很開心。是難得一件的佳釀，也是我喝過最好的教皇新堡

有標誌性的教皇新堡風格的酒，複雜性及酒力也很不錯，單寧亦很柔順。酒在口中那種乾果感覺很好，在喝的過程亦感覺到其產地那種熱力。有可能也是這熱力吧，現在喝感覺到酒的酸度開始有點下降，有貨的，應該快快喝掉。

酒的表現很不錯，是令人感覺到酒的出處，像教科書式的表現。酒香及酒味也強 ，單寧適中，感覺自然，好像沒有刻意作任何人為更改釀造似的。餘韻算長，可口，難得亦沒有太教皇新堡的一種重酒精感，好好的一款餐酒。

這酒的香料味十分足，甚至主導了這酒的味道，酒香強烈複雜有層次，是一種任何人一聞都會覺得是好酒的感覺。酒仍可發展，現在單寧仍是強了點，餘韻長而口感複雜，一枝好酒，可以慢慢品嚐的。

Deep purple with pronounced noses of red plum blackberry mint licorice lavender smoke and earth, it is dry with medium acidity, medium alcohol and quite full bodied, touch of alcohol note. The tannin is quite high but ripe and fine grained. On palate it gives quite high intensity flavours of redberry, plum, mint and licorice. Close to long length with red plum finish.

 可能是酒的狀態有點點問題，酒的香氣很好，令人感覺有一定深度。餘韻長亦表現其質素，酒精感稍稍重了點點。問題在於口中，複雜度及深度跌得很快，甚至有點散。但整體仍是好飲的。我保留對這酒的評價，直至下次試枝狀態好些的。

1998 Chateauneuf du Pape, Clos des Papes

A deep ruby wine with barely over medium noses of dried herb, hay, red berry, licorice and touch of oxidized notes. It is dry with medium acidity and alcohol. The tannins is at barely medium level but soft. Barely over medium flavours of red cherry, licorice, dried herb and touch of meaty. Fairly long length red berry and licorice finish. (90) Maybe due to its storage condition, a bit oxidation noted.

似乎有點開始氧化的感覺。酒的複雜性及酒力是好的，餘韻亦不錯，單寧柔順，如果不是有點氧化(但我相信這可能是個別的倉儲問題)，我相信這酒是有不錯的質素。
