這酒的質素在入口後才看得清楚。酒香不算很強，但感到有些複雜性。酒入口後反而更強，雖然複雜性沒有更好，但配合柔順均衡的口感，充分的果味及香料味和長的餘韻，令人覺得好喝。正。

酒香足及，其複雜性頗出色。酒味豐厚而餘韻亦算長，酒味的複雜性差了點點，單寧成熟而口感也厚，幾好飲。

It surprises me when a friend brings to the tasting. This deep purple wine is young and strong and it needs a few years more to reach its maturity. On nose, it has intense smoke, blackcurrant, black cherry with trace of earth, menthol and pine wood. It gives ripe plum, cherry and earthy with high acidity, medium coarse tannin and full body. The finish lasts for a few second. Its potential is yet to reveal. (90)
