這酒的感覺頗新的，沒有老酒的感覺。酒的強度不錯，亦有一定複雜性，餘韻合格，但比想像中短。這酒不像一些大品牌的X O，少了成熟感，多了些花果味，是另一種表現。

有舊酒的風味，但仍有一定活力。酒的融合過程像已完成。酒香強但在口中的味道轉弱了一點，餘韻亦合格，幾好飲。是一支酒味與酒力平衡的作品。

乾果味很好。酒的力量很強，是一枝很有強勁力度的酒，酒精不算很嗆，但不可以用醇來形容。餘韻長長的，好喝。由於其乾果味出色，大香檳區的感覺少了點，亦令人覺得厚重了點，但其香甜感是令人歡喜的。

It is dry with medium acidity, medium integrated alcohol and quite full bodied. On palate it gives over medium intensity flavours of citrus peel, jammy lemon, nutty, caramel, floral and touch of ginger. Longer than medium length with caramelized nutty finish. (91) quite bulky and bold.

一隻香檳莊造的烈酒有點難以想像，更難想像的是那種醬果及類似焦糖的口味。酒身較厚而且酒味重，酒的強度算不錯了，酒味在口中有一點點變化。這酒雖然沒有干邑那樣醇厚的口感，但因為味道方向重而濃，也令人有些滿滿的感覺，不錯。

五十多年酒的陳年感不俗。酒香算出色的，有著大香檳區的味道而又有乾果及陳年味，很吸引。酒的口感醇厚柔和，酒味的強度複雜感比酒香弱了點，餘韻亦算長，飯後酒來說是很好的。這牌子的酒比較優雅，如果喜歡人頭馬果類的可能會覺得這酒輕了點。

Long length with honey and lemon finish. (93)

如果不是餘韻吸引，這酒不值這個評價。酒香不錯，令人感覺到干邑地區一些田土特色。酒味的表現過於簡單，簡直要扣分，可是吞後酒的回味居然幾吸引，令評價有所提升。整體來說不錯，但最好食住甜品飲好D。
