Tasted on 12 October 2024 

輕鬆、柔順、可口的一支酒。各樣表現中中等等，特別是酒的丹寧不強，搞到支酒有點點果汁的感覺。值得讚的是酒的香氣，其餘各方面四平八穩，四四正正的餐酒。

2020 Bourgogne Hautes-Cotes De Beaune, Domaine Jean-Marc Bouley

A deep ruby coloured dry red wine with quite intense aromas of rose, mushroom, red cherry, strawberry, cedar and touch of vegetal notes. Medium mouthwatering acidity and medium bodied, medium alcohol with barely medium ripe and fine grained tannin. The flavour intensity and length are both at medium level with flavours of red cherry, wild strawberry, licorice, mushroom and dried leaf. Red cherry finish too. (89) Decent and delicate, easy drinking

Tasted on 30 July 2024

 

花果香味主導了這支酒的一切，香氣強度是中等以上的，酒味的強度比香氣弱了一點，複雜性亦簡單了一點，餘韻合格。這支酒給人輕巧、工整、輕鬆易飲的感覺，日常飲用十分適合。

2017 Calera Mills Vineyard Pinot Noir

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

2020 Bourgogne Pinot Noir, Domaine Gerard Mugneret

 A deep ruby dry red Burgundy with close to pronounced level intensity aromas of black plum, black cherry, mint leaf, rose jam, earth and touches of cedar and forest floor. Medium acidity and alcohol, full bodied with quite high ripe tannin. On palate it has over medium intensity flavours of black plum, black cherry, rose pedal and trace of cedar and earth. Medium length with black plum finish. (89) Nice nose but rather simple on palate, need better length too.

 

Tasted on 24 June 2024

播乾來講係一次交足貨的酒，香氣強烈有一定複雜性，亦展示出品種特色。酒味濃烈強度適中，餘韻亦合格，中上水平的作品，2020年的酒似乎比2019的可以更加陳年，相信這支酒亦可以陳多一下。

2021 Bourgogne, Domaine Audiffred

Deep ruby coloured with medium intensity aromas of rose, red berry, red plum, licorice and strawberry. It is dry with medium acidity and alcohol, medium bodied with barely medium tannin, a bit green. On palate it has medium intensity sour cherry, tea and licorice. Barely medium length. (87) Well......a simply dry red burgundy.....what else? 

 

Tasted on 26 February 2024 

一支非常簡單，簡單到沒有什麼特別事想指出，不過可以幾肯定的是年份，2021似乎不是一個好年份，由酒的口感及丹寧已經指出了。是一支合格的餐酒，吃飯時想喝點酒的話可以一試。

2013 Felton Road Block 3 Pinot Noir

Medium ruby coloured  dry red wine with quite intense noses of dried rose, mushroom, red plum, cherry, meat, smoke and pine wood. Good complexity. Medium acidity, alcohol and bodied with medium fine grained and smooth tannin. On palate it gives over medium intensity flavours of red plum, black tea, forest floor, nutmeg and smoke. Longer than medium length with plummy finish. (92) Ripe and soft, though not velvety enough. Good development

 

Tasted on 5 January 2024 

十多年的紐西蘭黑皮諾發展得很好，本身年份應記一功。酒的強度、複雜性、口感、丹寧都融合得圓滿，喝得很舒服，餘韻亦合格有餘，令人回味，好酒，現在喝亦好飲

2020 Bourgogne Pinot Noir Couvent Des Jacobins, Louis Jadot

Deep ruby coloured with over medium intensity aromas of red plum, strawberry, rose and trace of spice and meat. Quite fruity. It is dry with medium mouthwatering acidity, medium alcohol and bodied with medium powdery tannin. On palate it gives medium intensity flavours of cherry and licorice, touch of mint is also detected. Medium length with cherry finish. (89) Straightforward but a bit sharp on palate.

 

Tasted on 8 January 2023

清爽直接的餐酒，果香很好，輕柔的花果帶一丁點香料，酒的酸度會令人入口有一點醒神的鮮爽感，相信要一點時間才會變得柔順，酒味及餘韻適中，複雜性單調一點，以這價位作為一枝佐餐用的餐酒是不錯的。

2019 Bourgogne Les Rouges Champs, Domaine Gerard Mugneret

This is a deep ruby coloured dry red wine with close to pronounced level aromas of black plum, rose, ripe red cherry, and hints of earth, meat and anise. Medium acidity, alcohol and bodied with medium soft and ripe tannin. On palate it gives quite intense flavours of black plum, rose pedal, licorice, black tea and cherry juice. Longer than medium length with red plum finish. (90)

Tasted on 3 January 2023

相對這酒莊的普通BOURGOGNE，這酒較重身，味道較厚重，亦多一些泥土的風味。酒力和酒味依然強勁，以這級數來說餘韻是長的。複雜性也很好，當然也是在較重身一方的口味。酒須多一點時間透氣。這酒可以大大聲的說2019是一個很好的年份。

2019 Bourgogne Pinot Noir, Domaine Gerard Mugneret

A dry red wine with deep ruby colour and close to pronounced level aromas of red plum, cherry, rose jam, meat, vanilla and touch of cinnamon. Medium acidity, alcohol and quite full bodied. The tannin is at medium level and soft nature. On palate it has over medium flavours of red cherry, rose, plum, earth and cedar. Medium length with cherry finish. (90)

Tasted on 21 October 2022

強勁的香氣，在BOURGOGNE來說是數一數二的強，除了強之外還很複雜，根本不是BOURGOGNE這個水平的表現。酒體柔順，餘韻合格，以這級數來說是一枝高水平的作品。酒在口中表現不及酒香，複雜性也下降了一些，整體來說是一枝好抵飲的酒。

2018 Bourgogne Pinot Noir, Domaine Gerard Mugneret

Deep ruby coloured with pronounced noses of red plum, rose, vanilla spice, ripe cherry, and touch of smoke, good fruit, it is dry with medium acidity, alcohol and quite full bodied, medium fine grained tannin as well. On palate it has medium intensity flavours of red plum, rose, cherry and touch of breakfast tea. Medium length with cherry finish. (90)

 

Tasted on 22 April 2022 

 開酒時香氣已經很強，以這個APPELLATION來說是出色的。酒入口後第一個感覺是乾淨。果味條理分明，絕不含糊。複雜性不錯，以播干來說是中上的表現，木桶帶來的影嚮也恰到好處。很好，很抵飲的酒。

2010 Schloss Halbturn Pinot Noir, Baron Waldbott-Bassenheim

Deep ruby coloured with medium noses of red plum, meat, earth, black cherry and trace of game, smoke. Quite heavy indeed. Medium acidity, alcohol and bodied with medium soft tannin. The flavours contain red plum, cherry, earth, blood and trace of smoke and licorice. Over medium flavour intensity with medium length and red plum finish. (90) A bit heavy and need more vibrancy


Tasted on 24 February 2019

較重田土味的黑皮諾，各項表現四四正正，是一款較重味的酒，味道厚重，有點欠缺生氣似的，但亦有一定複雜性，很視乎個人喜好的一款酒。

2015 Bourgogne Pinot Noir, Domaine Arnaud Ente

This dry red wine has quite deep ruby colour. On nose it gives over medium intensity aromas of red berry, red cherry, mushroom, vanilla and touch of cedar and anise. Medium acidity, alcohol and bodied with fine grain medium tannin. On palate it has medium flavours of red cherry, plum, vanilla, mushroom and touch of cabbage. Barely longer than medium length with red berry finish. (89)

Tasted on 24 September 2017

兩個字：可口。加多兩個字是十分可口。四平八穩之餘再加上清新的紅色果實感覺。餘韻以播干來說是長的。有點複雜性亦有清楚的品種特性，好味。

2013 Fleton Road Block 5 Pinot Noir

This dry red wine has deep ruby colour. On nose it gives close to pronounced level intensity aromas of red plum jam, red berry, smoke, meaty, dried strawberry and licorice. It is dry with medium acidity, medium alcohol and fuller than medium bodied. Soft and ripe medium tannin and longer than medium length. Medium flavour intensity with flavours of red plum jam, candied strawberry, licorice, earth and blood. Plumy jam finish to follow. (90)


Tasted on 30 January 2016


濃厚的醬果感，很熟，很濃，強烈果感香氣主導了整枝酒的風味。亦確定了這一年是一個好的年份。單寧成熟柔順，酒味足而餘韻亦算長，只是太重果感而欠了複雜性和層次，但作為一枝佐餐的酒真是很好的選擇。

2013 Target Gully Mountain Difficulty Pinot Noir

A dark ruby coloured dry red wine with medium intensity aromas of red plum, cherry jam, cabbage, mushroom, vanilla and touch of earth. It has medium level acidity and alcohol, fuller than medium bodied too. The tannin is soft at barely medium level with medium red cherry length. The flavours contain red plum, cherry, licorice and touch of dry earth and dust. (89)


Tasted on 10 July 2015

 如果期望似布根地酒是有點不切實際。酒有著紐西蘭黑皮諾的醬果風格。果味濃濃，單寧卻柔軟，餘韻適中。在口中果感滿滿的，很有滿足感，不錯的佐餐酒。

2013 Felton Road Calvert Pinot Noir

A deep ruby wine with quite high intensity or redcherry perfume, rose cream, vanilla and touch of cabbage, quite floral. Dry with medium acidity, medium alcohol and medium bodied. Medium fine grained tannin too. On palate it has slightly over medium flavours of  red cherry, licorice and cabbage. A bit shorter than medium length. Cherry finish. (88) Good food wine.


Tasted on 12 June 2015

一盤花果的香氣襲鼻而來，但複雜性欠缺了點。酒在口中表現合格，酒味比酒香弱了一點點，但還不錯，餘韻短了些，一枝好的食飯酒。

2011 Felton Road Block 3 Pinot Noir

Quite deep ruby in colour with medium acidity and fuller than medium bodied, this dry red wine has medium noses of redberry, red plum, cabbage, smoke and rose paddle. Medium alcohol and smooth tannin with medium intensity flavours of red wild berry, red cherry, cabbage, vegetal and touch of rose. Medium length. (89)


Tasted on 7 December 2013

可口的一款酒。基本上是中規中矩的。但口感順滑，酒的整體表現雖不突出，但平衡很不錯，進餐飲用會好好，輕鬆地暢飲也不錯。但要好有特色或對酒會的複雜性有追求的話兒就差點子了。
