4 Hermitage - Vintage 1990
La Chapelle, P. Jaboulet
lbsl, sdc (Wines Located in Hong Kong)
"Spectacular aromatics offer up aromas of incense, smoke, blackberry fruit, cassis, barbecue spice, coffee, and a touch of chocolate. As it sits in the glass, additional nuances of pepper and grilled steak emerge. There is extraordinary freshness for such a mammoth wine in addition to abundant tannin, an amazing 60-second finish, and a level of glycerin and thick, fleshy texture that have to be tasted to be believed."(100pts)
令人嘆為觀止的香氣，香薰、煙熏、黑莓、黑加侖子、烤烘香料、咖啡和輕微的巧克力香。當在它杯中時，更可感受到胡椒和燒牛排氣味般的細節。這樣巨大的酒身中卻能找到清新的氣味，加上豐富的單寧，驚人地在口腔持續了60秒，還有濃厚的甘油度和鮮美的質感，必須親身嚐過方能相信。(100分)

一直深得我心的佳釀之一。酒身豐厚濃郁，柔滑如絲的果香，以及層出不窮的醋栗、礦物和漿果的酒味，雄運有勁，酒感強烈。此酒是1961年Latour的現代版本，叫人難以抗拒。(100分WS)

Broad, expansive flavors come across as rich, pure, and concentrated, but never heavy or coarse. Beautifully integrated tannin and acidity are barely noticeable in this classic, full-bodied, velvety-textured, youthful yet exceptional St.-Julien."(96pts)

47 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)

"...is utterly mind blowing. The heady, intoxicating bouquet delivered penetrating and sublime aromas that were even more intense than those from the La Tâche. On the palate, there is a veritable smorgasbord of earthly and heavenly delights. Needless to say, it is very rich, very opulent, and very concentrated. Red burgundy and red wine do not get any better than this."(100pts)
...完全進入另一個境界之中。那強烈及令人迷醉的香氣，比La Tache還要濃烈。在口中的感覺可用包羅萬有的喜悅去形容。不用說，它非常豐厚，非常富饒，亦非常濃縮。一般紅酒，甚至一般布根地紅酒都不能與它比較。(100分)

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)

"...displays more richness and unctuosity than any young d'Yquem I have tasted. It should have 40-60 years of positive evolution, although one suspects that much of the production will be consumed within the next 4-5 years. If my instincts are correct, this is the most profound d'Yquem since the legendary 1959. It may not prove as timeless as the 1975, but I believe it to be even more concentrated."(99pts)
...... 比我嚐過任何年輕的d'Yquem更為豐饒柔潤。我相信此酒應還有40至60年蘊藏潛力，儘管有人懷疑過，他們大部分的產物，將在未來4至5年全被喝掉。假如我的直覺無誤，這將會比d'Yquem那傳奇的1959年還來得有深度。可能無法證明1988年能像1975年般能擁有永恒的光環，但我相信此酒會更為濃郁集中。（99分）

2bn, 3lbsl, 3lscl (Wines Located in Hong Kong)
"We transitioned to the remaining four First Growths in the next flight, beginning with a phenomenal bottle of 1982 Margaux (sourced from Château). The Margaux had a pungent nose, and its t n a jumped out at first. It also had cinnamon, iron, rock and gorgeous perfume. It was beyond licorice according to Dan, and Australian John admired its cherry liqueur. The palate was rocky without the horror but with the picture show, not its usual feminine self, Ray observed. Though spiny and long, the Margaux was still stylish with a touch of that Margaux elegance. This was a great bottle of this wine, and it ended up being wine of the flight, outshowing all the other First Growths."(97pts JK)
繼而我們要品試的是另一組波爾多頂級酒莊，首瓶便是從酒莊引入的1982 Margaux，此酒有像肉桂、礦石及香水般的酒香，Dan說有股比甘草還要強的味道，來自澳洲的John 則對那陣像櫻桃酒般的味道讚不絕口，Ray更感覺到它堅實而起伏不定的精妙口感。一瓶如此優雅高貴的Margaux，被一致認為冠絕此品試組合的其他頂級酒莊佳釀，確是實至名歸.（97分 JK）

Pauillac
lstl, nl (Wines Located in Hong Kong)
"...phenomenally dense and muscular It is immune to oxidation! Moreover, it has a level of concentration that represents the essence of the Mouton terroir as well as the high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon it contains. Cassis, cedar, spice box, minerals, and vanillin are all present, but this opaque black/purple Pauillac has yet to reveal secondary nuances given its youthfulness. It exhibits huge tannin, unreal levels of glycerin and concentration, and spectacular sweetness and opulence. Nevertheless, it demands another decade of cellaring, and should age effortlessly for another seven or eight decades. I have always felt the 1982 Mouton was perfect, yet this immortal effort might be capable of lasting for 100 years! The fact that it resists oxidation is a testament to just how youthful it remains, and how long it will last."(100pts)
...異常密度的酒身視氧化如無物！它的濃密度，特高比例的赤霞珠，盡顯Mouton酒莊的神韻。黑加侖子、杉木、香料盒子、礦物和出自木桶的雲呢拿味俱備，但這紫黑色的Pauillac還未呈現陳年後醇酒的香氣，皆因它還很年輕。蘊含大量單寧、高甘油度和濃厚，以及引人入勝的甘甜和濃郁味道。話雖如此，它需要再陳年最少十載，並有輕而易舉再陳年多七八十載的潛力。我總是覺得1982年Mouton 是完美的，它不朽的酒身可以持續一百年！事實上看它能抵抗氧化的能力就足以證明它多年輕及可保存多久。(100分)
