Medium mouth washing acidity and alcohol, quit full bodied. On palate it gives quite intense flavours of lemon, peach, honey, white flower, vanilla  and touch of nuttiness.

高質素的餐酒，酒力強勁，亦有一定複雜性，如果餘韻長一點就是一枝佳釀了。花果感好，香料味可能要多些時間發展。酒精感突出了一點，扣了點分。口感鮮爽，佐餐一流的。希望時間會幫它再作提升。

這酒一貫在口中表現好，這枝也是。酒香強度一般但有齊了基本原素。酒在口中味道在強度更強，酒味很一致，餘韻更比想像中強。好飲，以餐酒來講是很不錯的。

飲過這酒的幾個不同年份，整體來說全都很不錯，這枝亦然。酒香強，複雜性已開始展現，酒味在口中也有些複雜性，但鬆散了些，餘韻不錯，亦算長。現在可飲，但相信放多一兩年會更好的。

強勁是這酒的一個合適的形容詞。酒力澎湃，酒香複雜性也好，餘韻也頗長，酒在口中複雜性差了點。但這酒早了點飲，仍有一定發展，過多兩三年會更進一步的。現在飲的話要透氣起碼個多小時。
(後話:品飲完後有酒友告知這酒有人評97分，我相信這酒發展成熟後應該會有94分左右，但我不認為值97)
