我說過這莊的酒越來越好，其中一項是因為越來越濃。2011年的這酒濃至有強強的醬果味，而且亦有一定香料的複雜性，很吸引。酒體豐厚，單寧成熟，一點也不像2011年，相信他們選擇葡萄時下了一定功夫。酒味在口中保持強度，只是複雜性下降了點，餘韻亦長，好好味。

出奇的好味。可能是我之前喝過一些較舊年份的而感覺一般，但這酒令我改觀了。足證近幾年這酒莊越做越好。酒香強而複雜，餘韻長，酒味高度平衡 ，口感濃郁，陳年能力仍有一段時間，好好味。

這枝酒似一級田的酒多過特級田。一般合理的香氣及酒味，口感有力，餘額也算合格。複雜性亦交到貨但不足。

1999 La Grande Rue, Domaine Francois Lamarche

Over medium intensity ruby colour with pronounced noses of rose perfume, mint, fresh strawberry, licorice, quartz and touch of cabbage. It is dry with medium acidity, bodied and alcohol. The tannin level is just close to medium and ripe. On palate, it has close to pronounced flavours of red cherry, rose, vegetal, cabbage and mineral. Almost long length with red cherry finish. (92) Quite big, and complex but lack of finesse.

有著複雜的香氣，頗長的餘韻，口感充滿力量的感覺，也有一定的複雜性，可能是田土的關係吧，這酒較剛勁但少了點柔順感。好飲。

有著精彩的香氣和複雜性，相信還有潛質發展。餘韻長而豐富，再陳年多些會更好。

頗夠複雜性，酒香也足夠，餘韻亦長但味道隱隱約約咁出，單寧仲未至於十分柔順，應可放多一排，正。
