42 Château Mouton Rothschild - Vintage 2006
Pauillac
10lwasl, 3nl, 1ltl (Wines Located in Hong Kong)
"...possesses extraordinary purity and clarity. A large-scaled, massive Mouton Rothschild that ranks as one of the top four or five wines of the vintage, it may turn out to be the longest-lived wine of the vintage by a landslide. The label will undoubtedly be controversial as a relative of Sigmund Freud, Lucian Freud, has painted a rather comical Zebra staring aimlessly at what appears to be a palm tree in the middle of a stark courtyard. I suppose a psychiatrist could figure out the relationship between that artwork and wine, but I couldn t see one. This utterly profound Mouton will need to sleep for 15+ years before it will reveal any secondary nuances, but it is a packed and stacked first-growth Pauillac of enormous potential."(98+pts)
擁有獨特清澈的純正口感,此雄渾結實的Mouton Rothschild是該年份首五位最佳名釀之一,日後將以壓倒性的姿態成為陳年佳釀。品牌的設計相當富爭議性,由西門‧弗洛伊德的後人盧西安‧弗洛伊德所繪畫。一隻滑稽的斑馬,漫無目的看着庭院內的棕櫚樹。我想只有專家才可對藝術與酒之間的關係作出分析。這令人有深刻印象的Mouton,雖然要陳年15載才會散發出醇酒的香氣,但卻蘊含一級Pauillac的巨大潛質。(98+分)

43 La Tâche - Vintage 2002
Domaine de la Romanée Conti
lscl (Wines Located in Hong Kong)
"This is very reserved though determined swirling reveals a nose that is exceptionally fine and pure with fantastic aromatic detail and an almost diaphanous transparency of expression that reveals all of the kaleidoscopic La Tâche spice box nose, including anise, clove, plums, high-toned black cherry, crushed red raspberry and more. The broad, expansive and powerful flavors are quite strict on the mid-palate with massive depth yet the finish is round, generous, sappy and superbly complex with a finish that lasts for minutes. Despite the aromatic fireworks and opulent character, there is an underlying tenderness here that suggests that this will be approachable relatively early but the balance is so fine that this should easily age for 30 years, perhaps longer."(96pts BH)
擁有典型La Tâche那細膩精確的多重美味酒香﹕茴香、丁香、李子幽香加上黑色櫻桃、紅桑莓碎等香味,清晰而有條不紊地逐一散發出來,令人有種晶瑩剔透的感覺,酒身雄厚強勁,像有股清冽的香味直透你的口腔,複雜豐富的各種味道縈迴不散,餘韻甚至長達數分鐘。除了上述的雄渾剛強風格外,其實它也有柔和細緻的一面,不但可以再儲存多30年(甚至更長),趁現在「年輕」飲用,亦無不可。(96分 BH)

48 Chambolle Musigny - Vintage 1999
Premier Cru, Comte de Vogue
(Wines Located in Hong Kong)
"Cool, reserved and supremely elegant nose of drop dead gorgeous pinot aromas and a mix of red and black fruits. It is already showing excellent complexity, fine intensity and very fine length, all the while exuding an unmistakable level of class and refinement. As Millet is fond of saying "this is short pants Musigny" and so it is."(91pts BH)

51 Pommard - Vintage 1999
Clos des Epeneaux, Comte Armand
(Wines Located in Hong Kong)
"Extravagant aromas explode from the glass with intensely spicy, black fruits together with a terrific inner core of pinot extract. Seductive, lush and extremely long with powerful, densely packed tannins completely wrapped in velvet, this should drink well both young and old. Exceptionally good with a lingering, almost haunting finish. Clearly Pommard in character but with more style and elegance than most..."(92pts BH)

"An extraordinary effort, Yquem s 1990 is a rich and fabulously superb, sweet wine. This wine also possesses lots of elegance and finesse. The wine s medium gold color is accompanied by an exceptionally sweet nose of honeyed tropical fruits, peaches, coconut, and apricots. High quality, subtle toasty oak is well-integrated..."(99pts)
經過特別努力去釀製而成的效果, Yquem 1990成為了非常濃厚及壯麗的甜酒。而此酒亦充滿優雅和幼細的一面。酒呈中等金黃的顏色,伴隨著異常甜的氣味,甜蜜的熱帶水果、香桃、椰子和新鮮杏脯。細膩的烘橡木味和此高質量的酒結合得恰到好處...(99分)

59 Château Ducru Beaucaillou - Vintage 1982
St. Julien
2sdc (Wines Located in Hong Kong)
"...the 1982 Ducru-Beaucaillou is unquestionably the best wine made at this estate since 1961. The concentrated, viscous, dark ruby/purple color is followed by explosive aromas of spring flowers, blackcurrants, minerals, and toast. It is fuller-bodied than normal, with remarkable delineation, great richness, and that wonderful sweetness that is a hallmark of this vintage."(94pts)

62 Château Latour - Vintage 1959
Pauillac
vhs, bsl, hstl, cuc, scc, excellent color (Wines Located
in Hong Kong)
"Dark garnet with an amber edge, the 1959 Latour reveals a touch of volatile acidity in the nose, along with aromas of melted caramel, tobacco, and jammy red and black fruits. As the wine sat in the glass, notes of minerals, coffee, spice, and underbrush emerged. There is still copious tannin in the finish (I am not sure it will ever be fully resolved), but this sumptuous, complex, fragrant, super-rich Latour cuts a broad swath across the palate. Fully mature, it is best consumed over the next decade."(96pts)
酒色呈帶著琥珀色的深邃石榴紅色調,此1959年的Latour在鼻腔裏展現出一絲揮發性的酸度,緊接是溶化了的焦糖、煙草、紅果醬及黑水果的香氣。當此酒置於杯中時,礦物、咖啡、香料及草叢般的氣息便隨即湧現,收結時,單寧異常充沛(我不肯定它何時才可以完全軟化),這高雅、複雜、芬芳、豐厚的Latour已像在我腦海中劃出一道悠長深刻的味道片段。此酒已完全成熟,在未來的十年裏亦將繼續發放其迷人風韻。(96分)

70 Bonnes Mares - Vintage 2005
Comte de Vogue
1x6 bottle owc (Wines Located in Hong Kong)
"An even riper but not surmature nose that is less elegant and aromatically complex, at least at present, features brooding aromas of black and blue berry plus black cherry and violets nuanced by hints of spice and warm earth merge into big, powerful and well-muscled flavors underpinned by impressive mid-palate concentration and dense but fine tannins, all wrapped in a dazzling long finish that is perfectly balanced. This will clearly require time to unfold but the raw material is indisputably here and like the Musigny, this is built for the very long haul."(95pts BH)

87 Château La Mondotte - Vintage 1997
St. Emilion
(Wines Located in Hong Kong)
"The 1997 La Mondotte is undoubtedly the wine of the vintage from Bordeaux's right bank (St.-Emilion and Pomerol), as well as a candidate for the wine of 1997. Much like its 1996 counterpart, the 1997 is the most concentrated wine I tasted. On the two occasions I had it, I was blown away by its quality. From its saturated opaque black/purple color, to its extraordinarily intense jammy blackberry/cassis liqueur-scented nose, this is a fabulous claret. Expansive and full-bodied, with exhilarating levels of extract, an opulent, unctuously-textured feel, extremely low acidity, and a 40+ second finish, this is a prodigious effort. While not quite as well-defined as the 1996, and perhaps slightly less concentrated (I'm splitting hairs here), this medium to full-bodied, showy, unbelievably dense and rich wine is another tour de force in winemaking. Projected maturity: now-2014."(94pts)

"Deep, deep color...serious nose of deep black fruits with nutty and caramel overtones...roasted and sexy, smoky and meaty...the grip is unbelievable - like putting your tongue in a vice! A day of aeration is probably the way to go with this monster...not as much fruit on the palate as the nose indicated but I think this wine will come together and only climb the point ladder."(94+pts JK)

"Here there is only a touch of reduction and the airy and elegant mix of high-toned black and blue fruit aromas nuanced by violet and mineral hints complements to perfection the rich, full and sweet flavors that culminate in a firm, linear and somewhat austere finish. This is a classic Frémiets built on a solid base of minerality."(91-93pts BH)

"Bright, saturated ruby-red. Deep aromas of black fruits, violet, tobacco, licorice, minerals, nuts and earth. Lush, rich and sweet, with an intriguing smoky character and lovely lightness for a wine with so much breadth and volume. Unusually powerful and deep for this bottling; complex and distinctive. In a rather Old World style, with complex soil tones currently dominating primary fruitiness. Finishes broad and dry, with very lush, fine tannins. A superb vintage for this estate."(93pts IWC)
