又一殺嬰事件，早飲了。此酒有一定複雜性，但須時間發展，有貨的不妨過多兩三年至好飲，但太耐又可能個酸度下降，所以唔好放太耐，我對這酒有點期望的。

2002 Corton Charlemagne, Domaine Bonneau du Martray

A medium lemon coloured dry white wine with over medium intensity aromas of apple, pear, vinyl choride, vanilla and oak. It has medium acidity and alcohol. Fuller than medium bodied with over medium intensity flavours of citrus, almond and touch of mineral and grass. The length is over medium level with citrus and vanilla finish. (91) Beautiful finish but a bit lack of complexity.

清純四正，有一定酒力勁度但略嫌複雜性不足，輕鬆好飲易理解的一枝白酒，慢慢嗒不錯。

Paul Dethune Blanc de Noris Champagne Brut

This sparkling wine has medium lemon colour with touch of pink tinge. On nose it gives pronounced aromas of ripe apple, lemon, pear drop, yeast, mineral and honey, quite complex. It is off-dry with fairly high acidity, medium bodied and creamy mousse. Medium alcohol level and over medium flavour intensity. Apple, citrus, grapefruit and touch of honey and caramel. Barely over medium length with citrus and honey finish. (92) Touch of bitterness at the finish makes it not having an even higher rating.

這枝酒給了我一點驚喜。酒香複雜強勁，口味也足，可惜的是餘韻比想像中短了點。

參觀威士忌蒸餾廠(一) - Benromach

早陣子經友人安排去了蘇格蘭參觀了一些威士忌蒸餾廠，現在這裡報導一下。第一間是Benromach。

 鳴謝

這次參觀多謝Gordon & MacPhail 的導賞及安排。所有相片均是由我拍攝，未經我及Gordon & MacPhail 批准均不可轉載，否則後果自負。

歷史

Benromach 在 Speyside 是最細的一間蒸餾廠，位於蘇格蘭東北Forres城市外圍。它於1898年由 GlenNevis Distillery 的 Duncan MacCallum 及一位酒商 F W Brickmann 建立，並於1899年開始生產。蒸餾廠於1911年賣了給倫敦的 Harvey McNair & Co.，之後一直生產直至1914年第一次世界大戰。大戰之後蒸餾廠再次轉手到 Benromach Distillery Limited。1938年被美國公司 Associated Scottish Distilleries Limited 收購，之後在1953年再被賣至蘇格蘭的 Scottish Malt Distillers Limited。蒸餾廠於 1966 年開始作了一連串的重建，包括安裝新的爐具及建立更多的廠房。可是在1983年入了最後一桶酒之後停產了。直至1993 年，蒸餾廠被現在的擁有人酒商Gordon & MacPhail 收購而重開，Gordon & MacPhail 之後投入大量金錢翻新廠房並使之重新可以運作，於1998年由皇儲查理斯開幕。皇儲亦獲贈他們的特別世紀版威士忌（限量3500支）作為他50歲生日禮 物，你話做皇室幾多著數呢！皇儲亦在重新投產後的第一桶酒的酒桶上簽名。
 

 

1999年蒸餾廠的遊客中心開啟，自此大家可以到此蒸餾廠參觀遊覽。蒸餾廠於2000年被蘇格蘭旅遊局給予4星的旅遊景點獎，同年蒸餾廠亦成為 Malt Whisky Trail一員。

蒸餾廠內有一個小小博物館，展示了一些舊式制酒設備，對一些初學者來說是一個好好的學習場所，值得一看。

產品

他們由蘇格蘭各地購入麥芽，並用 Romach Hill 附近的泉水釀造（唔知Ben-romach 的名字可能就是咁來的?）。他們造酒方式貫徹 Speyside 的特色，酒的花果味較重，煤泥味較輕（甚至接近0，由3至13PPM不等），亦主要用美國波斑桶（Bourbon Cask）及西班牙雪利桶（Sherry Cask）陳年。由於蒸餾廠的規模夠細，所以他們可以對不同製酒方法作試驗，這優勢相對其他蒸餾廠來說是頗大的。所以，隨了以陳年時間劃分的傳統產品外， 他們亦有其他較特別的酒品，例如他們 2006 年出產的 Benromach Organic，一隻由有機認証麥芽生產的單一麥芽威士忌。此外，他們亦有自家的 Cask Strength 威士忌和加強煤泥味的 Benromach Peat Smoke。最近，他們更從意大利酒莊買下 Sassicaia 紅酒的酒桶作他們陳年威士忌之用，他們創新的想法真的值得一讚。

蒸餾廠行2007年加建酒窖以提升陳酒設施，2009年推出了重新開廠後第一隻10年陳的單一麥芽威士忌。此威士忌近年在美國得到很好的評價，在美國的 Ultimate Spirits Challenge中得到了95分（滿分100）。現在，這廠已發展了三十多款不同的威士忌。

也有一段時間未試這款南非的著名甜酒了。酒香及酒味複雜性不錯，力度也不弱，餘韻也算長，酸甜平衡也在中上水平，整體很好，是質素頗高的甜酒，但當然要各方面再加強才可以有更高評價。

2001 Romanee St. Vivant, Domaine Leroy

This dry red wine has quite high intensity ruby colour but it has a touch of haziness on its clarity. On nose it gives fairly pronounced aromas of strawberry jam, cabbage, mushroom, muddy, vanilla spice and touch of forest floor. Medium acidity, alcohol and bodied, the flavour intensity is over medium level with flavours of red berry, cabbage, spice, mushroom, strawberry and vegetal. Slightly over medium tannin but touch of greenness is detected. Close to long length with subtle red plum finish. (93)

酒色有點點濁但酒香已把你吸引過去了，酒香及複雜性俱佳，餘韻亦長，但單寧有一點青澀，否則是很好的一枝酒。

1995 Nuits St. Georges les Vignerondes, Domaine Leroy

Deep ruby colour with quite high intensity aromas of red cherry, red plum, rose pedal, licorice and touch of vanilla and cedar. It is dry with medium acidity, alcohol and bodied with medium ripe and fine-grained tannin. Over medium intensity flavours of red cherry, licorice, cabbage and touch of spice and toasted coffee. Close to long length with red berry finish. (92) Barely a bit bitter at the back.

Tasted on 7 June 2013

不論酒香及酒味都有一定的複雜性及強度。餘韻亦長，酒的發展也很好，可是結尾有一點點苦，要扣點分。但整體說都是頗出色的。

2005 Ch. Pichon Lalande

Deep purple coloured with quite pronounced aromas of blackcurrant, black plum, blueberry candy, vanilla and smoke, still youthful. It is dry with medium acidity, alcohol and full bodied. Ripe medium tannin with over medium intensity of blackcurrant, violet, vegetal, black plum and herbaceous notes. Longer than medium length with blueberry finish. (91) Ripe and young, may develop with some improvement.

Tasted on 4 May 2013

早飲了的酒，果味頗出色的，酒力及餘韻不過錯，但仍然未發展出複雜性，現在飲像一枝用法國木桶的新世界酒。

2004 Ch. Palmer

A dry red wine with deep purple colour and over medium intensity aromas of earth, blackcurrant, black plum, violet, smoke and lavender. It has medium acidity and alcohol. Fuller than medium bodied with medium fine-grained tannin. On palate, it gives fairly high intensity flavours of black cherry, herbaceous, violet, licorice and vegetal notes. Fairly long length with black berry finish. (92)

Tasted on 4 May 2013

PALMER 在比較弱的年份通常都做出水準穩定的酒。這酒比起好年份的PALMER當然有一定水準距離，但仍不失公整。有一定複雜性及酒力，餘韻亦吸引。PALMER亦提供了一貫的一種誘人的香氣，不錯。

2004 Pavillon Rouge du Ch. Margaux

This is a deep purple wine. On nose it gives barely over medium intensity aromas of blackcurrant, earth, violet, spice and touch of vegetal. It is dry with medium acidity, alcohol with fuller than medium bodied. Tannin is at medium level and fine-grained in nature. Medium flavour intensity. Blackcurrant, herbaceous, black cherry, licorice with longer than medium length and blackberry finish. (90)

Tasted on 4 May 2013

如果唔係個餘韻有番咁上下長，我唔會覺得有90分。此酒表現出瑪歌風格，頗典型的。但複雜性及酒力也是中中等等的。合格的二軍酒，但如果我有錢我真的不會買來飲。

2005 Pavillon Blanc du Ch. Margaux

Medium lemon green colour and quite oily mouthfeel, this wine has medium nose of cream, butter, grass, white flower and touch of PVC and soap. It is dry with fairly high acidity, fuller than over medium bodied and medium alcohol. The flavours have cream, lemon, grass cutting, vanilla and almond, all at medium level with fairly long length with honey finish. (91)

Tasted on 4 May 2013

不錯，但不會令我覺得05年的波爾多白酒是好好，香氣複雜，酒味亦不錯，但力度有點不夠濃厚，但又不致令人覺得優雅，口感頗厚重，不是輕巧類型。可口的，特別是對喜愛酒體重的人來說。

2000 Ch. Duhart Milon

This wine possesses a deep purple colour. On nose it gives over medium intensity aromas of blackcurrant, earth, violet, smoke, menthol and vanilla.

第二次試這被譽為100分的酒，感覺仍很好很滿足。酒的複雜性及酒力充沛，餘韻長，唯一有小小未到完美的就是單寧仍未融合哂，但已經好好味。

1982 Ch. Gloria

This old dry red wine has barely deep purple colour. It has medium aromas intensity which contains aromas of vegetal, leather, cedar and touch of black plum and smoke. Medium acidity and alcohol. Soft and mellow tannin is detected still. Medium bodied with slightly over medium flavours of black olive, herbaceous, cedar and toast. Quite long length with black olive finish (91). Sign of tired detected but may be due to condition.

Tasted on 29 March 2013

老酒風格，大部份果味已轉化了，酒力(不論香氣與酒味)也開始弱了點，唯獨餘韻話你知它是一枝不錯的酒。發展頗成熟，因我短期內連飲了兩枝，而且是雙瓶莊，酒的狀態要注意，因為我第二次飲時酒的狀態比第一枝好。

2007 Ch. Marjosse

This is a deep purple wine with fairly high aromas intensity. The aromas contain blackcurrant, violet, licorice, smoke and toast. It is dry with medium acidity, alcohol and fuller than medium bodied.

This sweet wine possesses a medium gold colour. On nose it gives quite pronounced aromas of honey, grass, fresh lemon, vanilla, apricot and touch of limestone.

Tasted on 1 February 2013

酒香很好，展現了一貫蘇岱的風格，香氣有豐富果實之餘亦有清爽的草顃及礦石木桶味。酸甜平衡好亦適中。口中酒味少了點、簡單了點，有點失望。

1958 Ch. Lafite Rothschild

This old wine has almost pale rube colour with touch of haziness. On nose it gives medium intensity aromas of black cherry, cedar, and bell pepper type herbaceous notes.

Not too tasty but you should still appreciate that it can stand for half a century.

一個字：淡。但經歷了半個世紀有多的酒也是頗正常。仍有一點點的果味，當然大部分是已發展的氣味，難得的是其餘韻仍在。飲這酒是在享受它的歷史甚於一切。

2001 Ch. Margaux

This wine has a deep purple colour. On nose it gives quite pronounced aromas of violet, black plum, smoke, vegetal, cassis, sweet vanilla and touch of acetic.  It is dry with medium acidity and alcohol, quite full bodied with higher than medium soft and ripe tannin. The flavour intensity is quite high with flavours of blackcurrant, violet, herbaceous, and touch of bell pepper and sweet spice. Fairly long length with black plum finish. (91) Still fruity and shows some development. Quite complex with reasonable intensity as a First Growth.

一支仍在發展的酒，果味濃郁，口感仍未有充分發展，故現在有點簡單，發展成熟應該不錯。複雜性與餘韻以一級莊來說也算合格。
