Chile Wines @ Yung Kee

Chile Wines @ Yung Kee
2000 Almaviva (Mouton + Concha Y Toro)
2001 Le Dix de Los Vasco (Lafite)
2002 Sena (Errazuriz + Robert Mondavi)
2002 Concha Y Toro, Don Melchor, Cabernet Sauvignon
2003 Montes Alpha M
2003 Altair (San Pedro + Chateau Dassault in Saint Emilion) Grand Cru in Chile?!
2003 Casa Lapostolle, Clos Apalta



2001 Le Dix de Los Vasco (Lafite)

智利Lafite之稱的Los Vasco,一直都是超市其中一個暢銷品牌,如果用HK$88買基本的Los Vasco,都算恰如其份。用HK$180買Los Vasco Grande Reserve就要諗諗。如果要用上HK$700+以上買Le Dix de Los Vasco,就是一個重大決定。有些東西總足聞名好過見面的。如要飲Lafite品牌,七百幾就會買2000或2003 Carruades de Lafite。 **/*

2003 Montes Alpha M

Montes Alpha一直都是超市其中一個暢銷品牌,尤其是其普通版本Cabernet Sauvignon,早年喝過其1993年Cabernet Sauvignon普通版本,感覺幾好。但這瓶 2003 Montes Alpha M 就認真麻麻。**


2000 Almaviva (Mouton + Concha Y Toro)

Almaviva活靈魂是Mouton Rothschild 與 Concha Y Toro合作產品,酒莊希望能成為Opus One翻版。以酒論酒,Almaviva一貫是智利最頂尖酒之一。Concha Y Toro是智利最大酒莊,而Almaviva Vineyard 是由Don Melchor Vineyard分割出來的,本來Don Melchor Vineyard 己是Concha Y Toro Vineyards 之中最好的。但因為2000年不是靚年關係,所以表現普通。***

2003 Altair (San Pedro + Chateau Dassault in Saint Emilion) Grand Cru in Chile?!

San Pedro做很多Cheap酒,而Chateau Dassault是Saint Emilion的Grand Cru之一。兩個酒莊合作產品就希望是釀制智利Grand Cru。(但Saint Emilion的Grand Cru卻是最低級別)。Saint Emilion以Cabernet Franc 及Merlot馳名,因此這瓶Altair是以Merlot為主。***


2002 Concha Y Toro, Don Melchor, Cabernet Sauvignon

2002 Sena (Errazuriz + Robert Mondavi)

1945 Mouton Rothschild & 1961 Chateau Latour

2006-09-05 @ Fook Lam Moon

1985 Joseph Drouhin Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche
1991 Coche Dury Meursault Les Rougeots
1983 Henri Jayer Vosne Romanee Les Brulees
1988 Dujac Clos Saint Denis
1988 Henri Jayer Echezeaux
1961 Chateau Latour, Pauillac
1945 Chateau Mouton Rothschild, Pauillac
1964 Petrus, Pomerol
1947 Chateau d’Yquem, Sauternes


1985 Joseph Drouhin Le Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche

Grand Cru 確實與不同,油感十足,有力度,aftertaste好長,不過稍嫌略澀。****


1991 Coche Dury Meursault Les Rougeots

第一次喝Coche Dury有田名白酒,幾full body而且complex,不過始終不是Grand Cru,無Le Montrachet級數。***/*


1983 Henri Jayer Vosne Romanee Les Brulees

酒神另外一瓶作品「保利田」,絕對做到VR田那種elegant,花香。有一定口感及complexity,覺得比88 Echezeaux還要正,因為較喜歡這類style的Burgundy。****


1988 Dujac Clos Saint Denis
如果獨立飲的話,這絕對是一瓶靚酒。但與兩瓶Henri Jayer一齊飲的話,高下立判。***


1988 Henri Jayer Echezeaux

Grand Cru即是Grand Cru,席上多人認為當晚第二最好。Powerful得來好balance,有口感而且aftertaste很長,可惜飲一支少一支。***/*


1961 Chateau Latour, Pauillac RP100

Parker 這樣寫:
Port-like, with an unctuous texture, and a dark garnet color with considerable amber at the edge, the 1961 Latour possesses a viscosity and thickness. One of the three bottles served at the Chateau's tasting revealed a surprisingly aggressive, minty, herbaceous nose, but the other two bottles were liquid perfection, exhibiting fragrant, cedary, truffle, leather, mineral, and sweet, jammy aromatics, full-bodied, voluptuous textures, exquisite purity and concentration, and a layered, highly-nuanced finish that represents the essence of compellingly great wine. The 1961 has been fully mature for over 15 years, but it seems to get richer, holding onto its succulence and fat, and developing more aromatic nuances without losing any sweetness or concentration. An extraordinary wine, it is unquestionably one of the Bordeaux legends of the century! Anticipated maturity: now-2025

絕對是Immortal wine!Decant 4 粒鐘之後,仍然未開,無乜nose,但酒顏色很深。Full body而且aftertaste頗長,但未到amazing級數。當天表現未到100分。身旁的醫生朋友說以前喝過兩次61 Latour都未試過好過,今日表現已是預期之內。***


1945 Mouton Rothschild RP100 (世紀之酒?)


Parker 這樣寫:
A consistent 100-point wine (only because my point scale stops at that number), the 1945 Mouton-Rothschild is truly one of the immortal wines of the century. This wine is easily identifiable because of its remarkably exotic, over-ripe, sweet nose of black fruits, coffee, tobacco, mocha, and Asian spices. It is an extraordinarily dense, opulent, and rich wine, with layers of creamy fruit, behaveing more like a 1947 Pomerol than a structured, powerful, and tannic 1945. The wine finishes with a 60+ second display of ripe fruit, extract, and sweet tannin. This remarkably youthful wine (only light amber at the edge) is mindboggling! Will it last another 50 years? Last tasted 8/97.


果然名不虛傳,香味離杯幾吋仍能聞到,像香水般那樣香(指intensity,不是庸俗味道)。香味很甜,有點像port,但來得優雅。有焦糖、果槳香,單聞香味已十分吸引,根本不捨得喝。入口幼滑如絲,complex而且aftertaste頗長。絕對是100分的酒。好正好正。唯一沒有mouton一貫的Mocha咖啡香味。*****


1964 Petrus, Pomerol RP97


Deep, dark ruby/garnet-colored, with a hint of orange and rust at the edge, the 1964 Petrus offers a huge, smoky, roasted bouquet of jammy fruit, coffee, and mocha. This huge, massively-endowed wine is packed with alcohol, glycerin, and high tannin. There is stupendous extraction of fruit and amazing length. The only criticism is that it is perhaps too big and robust for its own good. Lucky owners of well-stored bottles are advised to cellar it for a few more years. As they say, it's a tough job, but someone's got to do it! Last tasted 11/95


作為當天祕酒,顏色很深,不像那麼舊。入口滑淨到不得了,細密豐厚,熟透Petrus質素應該如沁此。某君名言是:「Petrus就是Petrus」十分Unique。只可惜nose不算太開,未及上次的1906年那瓶咁正,但都好好。****


1947 Chateau d’Yquem, Sauternes


Parker 沒有tasting note,但酒主極力贊這瓶酒。酒已呈茶色,但入口不漏,很fruity。正!****
