濃濃的香氣引人入勝，酒香強而複雜，亦展現出其風格。酒的單寧算是成熟柔順，餘韻亦長，充份表現出其質素。酒味在口中有點點轉化，現在仍在發展中，相信酒味的複雜性會進一步提升。有點期待。

簡簡單單合格有餘的波爾多餐酒，佐餐很不錯。香氣足，有一定複雜性，餘韻亦算合格，只是酒在口中的表現直白一點，甚至不像是列級酒莊的級數，像是一枝交行貨的酒。不過有時簡單吃飯找點東西喝也不錯，亦合適。

2019 Bourgogne Pinot Noir, Domaine Gerard Mugneret

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)

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。

乾果味很好。酒的力量很強，是一枝很有強勁力度的酒，酒精不算很嗆，但不可以用醇來形容。餘韻長長的，好喝。由於其乾果味出色，大香檳區的感覺少了點，亦令人覺得厚重了點，但其香甜感是令人歡喜的。

Ch. Jun Sparkling Wine Sec

Medium lemon colour with over medium intensity aromas of lemon, pear, honey, mineral and touch of steel. Though it says it is sec but dry on palate. Medium acidity and alcohol, quite full bodied. The flavour intensity is at medium level with flavours of red apple, honey, cream soda, and trace of sawdust. Medium length with lemony finish. (90) interesting one, maybe even strange.....

表現有點怪怪的，雖然很多方面也是中規中矩。原先以為甜的，但入口並不甜，酒味的收尾有點木碎感。喝了甲州的酒幾次，感覺它們的酒果味偏向清爽，這酒也是一樣，不過多了一絲成熟果味，清爽的關係也令酒覺得有點淡，可能配清一點的食第會好一些。

Krug Rose 25eme Edition Brut

Medium intensity salmon like colour with close to pronounced noses of red cherry, strawberry, steel and layers of plum and red apple, very fruity. It is dry with medium acidity, medium alcohol and quite full bodied. Creamy mouthfeel as usual with quite intense flavours of red apple, cherry, strawberry and touch of mineral and steel. Fairly long length with red cherry and lime finish (91)

非常非常生果的一枝香檳，少了以往KRUG的那一種像木桶似的醇厚感，礦物味充足，紅果感強烈，口感因泡泡及豐富果味變得豐滿，是一枝很適合追求的爽快直接的香檳飲家，這檳佐餐剩飲也可，好味，亦喝得很爽。

1969 Barolo, Enrico Serafino

大吉利是，支酒未死，不過唔會有好耐。酒難得仍有一些果感，品種表現出色，不論香氣或酒味也是一枝過了適飲期的酒，餘韻仍是唔錯，老酒感十足，但我覺得老過頭。

1975 Ch. Gloria

Medium ruby colour with garnet rim. This dry red wine still has quite intense aromas of blackcurrant, bell pepper, vegetal and dried maple leaf, some earthy and cherry notes too. Medium acidity and alcohol, medium bodied with fine grained and soft medium tannin. On palate it has medium intensity flavours of bell pepper, dried herbs, earth and touch of pine wood, quite leafy. Barely medium length with vegetal finish. (87) Over the peak but good development

老酒的靭性真係表露無遺。酒的花果感仍有，但是可以想像的退卻，只是比想像中仍保留得多。酒已醇化柔順，仍有一點點的強度，酒味在口中完全轉化至老酒感覺。喝得很舒服，不過餘韻有點散，四十幾年有這表現也是可喜的。

2014 Clos Vougeot, Domaine Laurent Roumier

A deep ruby coloured dry red wine with close to pronounced level aromas of rose perfume, red berry, plum, anise, cedar and trace of cinnamon, nutmeg, very spicy. It is dry with medium acidity and alcohol, medium bodied with soft medium tannin, a bit greenness though. The flavour intensity is at medium plus level with flavours of rose, red cherry, licorice and cedar. Fairly long length with red cherry finish. (92) Spiciness fading on palate.

聞的時候，酒的香餘真是很好，又強又複雜，特別是香料味，好像入了一個香料貨倉似的。年份問題，酒的單寧有點青，但不太大問題。問題是在酒味，入口後酒的香料味散却不少，但又不是散晒，餘韻亦算長，幾好飲，不過口中表現真的有點怪。

Bollinger PNVZ16 Champagne

This champagne has medium intensity lemon colour. On nose it gives medium intensity aromas of lemon, chalk, steel, green apple and trace of toasted bread. Dry with medium acidity and alcohol, quite full bodied and creamy mousse. On palate it gives medium intensity flavours of lemon, red apple, wet stone, yeast and touch of nuttiness. Longer than medium length with citrus peel finish. (90) Interesting palate.

家陣都唔知係咪潮流，個個人都造到D香檳爽爽口口咁。BOLLINGER 呢個系列一早已經知係咁，但係有時真係懷念佢舊時的產品。這個以BOLLINGER來說是中規中矩的，唯一要讚的是酒在口中酒味有一些變化，幾有趣，可口的香檳，但現在PN15比較好一點。
