This is a dry red wine from US with quite intense ruby colour. On nose it gives quite intense aromas of red cherry, mushroom, red plum, strawberry, rose pedal and touch of cigar leaf and pine. Medium acidity and bodied with medium fine grained tannin. On palate it gives over medium intensity flavours of red berry, green plum, wild rose, licorice and herbaceous notes. Longer than medium length with red berry finish. (91) Good nose and elegant.

如果覺得美國的黑皮諾好像很厚重的話，這一支酒會改變你的感覺。香氣來說可能仍然有厚重感覺，但其後香味的變化令你覺得有點不一樣。酒有一定的優雅感，特別在口中酒味變得偏向清幽的感覺，幾有趣的，同時亦反映出它的一定複雜性。餘韻尚算好，只是比想像中略短，但是已經合格有餘。感覺是做工幾好的一支
