五十多年酒的陳年感不俗。酒香算出色的,有著大香檳區的味道而又有乾果及陳年味,很吸引。酒的口感醇厚柔和,酒味的強度複雜感比酒香弱了點,餘韻亦算長,飯後酒來說是很好的。這牌子的酒比較優雅,如果喜歡人頭馬果類的可能會覺得這酒輕了點。

 隆河的酒香料味真的很出色。這酒的香料味很充足,酒力算強,亦有一定複雜情度,餘韻亦算長,是一枝整體都很不錯的酒.。酒的口感較重,加上重重的單寧,未必人人接受到。

優雅及濃郁這兩個詞很難放在一起去形容同一枝酒,但當這同時出現時,那一定是一枝好酒了。這酒的酒香強,而複雜性是一層層的走出來,口感柔順而酒味強,味道的方向比香氣的重了些,餘韻長長,令人回味,有種由淺入深的感覺,會令人有想像空間的,好酒。
