有趣的。酒香很好，表現出一枝正常的好的波爾多酒。香氣分明，酒體豐厚，單寧有一點枝梗的感覺。酒入口後果味有些消散，香料味及有點陳年的感覺，餘韻亦算長，好喝，只是酒的果味在口中令人意外的消散了，奇怪。

Medium acidity and alcohol, medium bodied with fine grained and soft medium tannin. On palate it has medium intensity flavours of bell pepper, dried herbs, earth and touch of pine wood, quite leafy. Barely medium length with vegetal finish. (87) Over the peak but good development

老酒的靭性真係表露無遺。酒的花果感仍有，但是可以想像的退卻，只是比想像中仍保留得多。酒已醇化柔順，仍有一點點的強度，酒味在口中完全轉化至老酒感覺。喝得很舒服，不過餘韻有點散，四十幾年有這表現也是可喜的。

老酒風格，大部份果味已轉化了，酒力(不論香氣與酒味)也開始弱了點，唯獨餘韻話你知它是一枝不錯的酒。發展頗成熟，因我短期內連飲了兩枝，而且是雙瓶莊，酒的狀態要注意，因為我第二次飲時酒的狀態比第一枝好。

2003 Ch. Gloria

A dry red wine with deep purple colour and medium noses of blackcurrant, black plum, vegetal, smoke, blueberry and earth. It has barely medium acidity, medium fine-grained tannin and fuller than medium bodied. The flavour intensity is at medium level with flavours of blueberry, plum and trace of bell pepper, licorice and vegetal. Medium length with plumy finish (90). Nice and straight. Not too complex yet with reasonable complexity and intensity. Enjoyable.

GLORIA比到豐原口感之餘亦有一定討人喜愛的因素。易飲、直接、容易明白。優雅感略缺，果太熟及令人感到2003年果種熱浪，亦係咁酒的酸度略嫌不足而導致生氣略遜，整體來說還不錯的。

This wine has opaque purple colour. On nose it gives subtle black fruit aroma but strong smoke and spice note. It has low to medium acidity and medium to full body. The tannin is not strong but also not soft. On palate, it has those black fruit flavour with a bit earthy, licorice and smoke which stay in my palate for quite a while. I think this wine may need further time to reach its peak but it is still nice at the moment. (90) (Tasted on 26 March 2009, reposted)

This one is classic. The dry viscous wine gives clear dark purple colour. On nose, it offers pronounced ripe sweet blackcurrant, black plum and cherry with spice and elegant cedar wood. It also has an attack of caramel. The wine is medium to full body with light to medium acidity. It is rich and structured but the tannin is strong at the time of tasting, which means this should be much more enjoyable for years later. (91) (Tasted on 12 October 2008, reposted)
