Wine List @ Manly
少而精。
近月酒價飛升，以下都是酒友的珍藏，當年購入價尚可。現價相信不會再買了。
2002 Domaine Anne Francoise Gros, Richebourg, Grand Cru
2001 Domaine Leroy Nuits St. Georges Les Allots, Village Wine
2000 Domaine Leroy , Vosne Romanee "Les Beaux Monts", Premier Cru
2000 Domaine Bernard Dugat Py ,Mazis Chambertin, Grand Cru
2002 Domaine Vincent Girardin Corton Charlemagne
1994 Henschke Shiraz Hill of Grace Eden Valley
1989 Chateau Montrose Saint Estephe
1990 Chateau Montrose Saint Estephe

2002 Domaine Anne Francoise Gros, Richebourg, Grand Cru
美國貨，當年購入價USD300。話晒Grand Cru Richebourg，但當日表現未見突出。***


2001 Domaine Leroy Nuits St. Georges Les Allots, Village Wine
香港入口貨，當年購入價HKD10xx?香味一流，有class，而入口較單薄。放久了酸度變高，失了平感。***

2000 Domaine Leroy , Vosne Romanee "Les Beaux Monts", Premier Cru
香港入口貨，當年購入價少於HKD2000。香味一流，比那瓶NSG高了一班，很elegant，很blue blood的感覺。因年份關係，入口略薄但平。個人就很喜歡這種風格。****

2000 Domaine Dugat-Py Mazis Chambertin RP97
Domaine Dugat-Py Mazis Chambertin, Gevrey Chambertin, Cote de Nuits, Burgundy, France
香港入口貨，當年購入價少於HKD3000。極度罕有貨。屬P君珍藏。好肉地(Meaty)，Nose很深，很有內涵。入口好full，但不粗糙，有class但不像Leroy VR那種陰柔。****

Wine Advocate #147 (Jun 2003) Pierre Rovani 97 points Drink 2007-2020 $225.09
Candied blackberries and cherries are found in the nose of the awesome 2000 Mazis-Chambertin. A thick, yet juicy wine, it coats the taster’s palate with jammy black cherries. Medium to full-bodied, it is bold, dense, deep, expansive, and hugely concentrated. Its considerable tannin, discernable in its prodigious finish, is perfectly ripe, almost sweet. Drink this awesome effort between 2007 and 2020. Bravo!

No offense to Peter Weygandt, this estate’s importer, but can anyone think of an easier job than having to sell Bernard Dugat’s wines? For the past decade, this 7.5 hectare (18.53 acre) domaine has consistently produced exceptional wines, a testimony to the relentless pursuit of quality exhibited by Dugat, his wife, and children. “Yes, it’s true that we live in the vineyards, working from morning to night, but the primary reasons we don’t have the same problems as many others in Burgundy is that we concentrate on having low yields and are fortunate enough to have old vines,” sais Bernard Dugat.

2002 Domaine Vincent Girardin Corton Charlemagne
過場之白酒，香港入口貨，當年價around HKD1000。Vincent Girardin始終造白酒好過紅酒。有檸檬及香蕉果香，入口舒服，不錯。***/*

2002 Vincent Girardin Corton Charlemagne
Vincent Girardin
Corton Charlemagne, Aloxe Corton, Cote de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Wine Advocate #151 (Feb 2004) Pierre Rovani (93-94) points Drink 2008-2016 $91.50
A profound, light to medium-bodied wine, the 2002 Corton-Charlemagne bursts from the glass with minerals, flowers, fresh herbs, and hints of mint. It is a pure, fleshy offering of outstanding depth, concentration, and power. Loads of sappy minerals are intermingled with spices and apples in its refined, noble character. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2016.

1994 Henschke Shiraz Hill of Grace Eden Valley
轉戰澳洲，此瓶酒購自澳洲，屬馬Sir珍藏。開首酒香不顯，但酒身豐滿。一小時之後，澳洲應有Shiraz靚版香味湧出，有Minty及苺味。***

1989 Chateau Montrose Saint Estephe
歐州貨，當年購入價around HKD1700。重皮味，入口full，有complexity。但不及90的正。***/*

1989 Montrose
Montrose, St Estephe, Bordeaux, France
Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998) Robert Parker 96 points Drink 2002-2032
An outstanding Montrose, the 1989 is one of the vintage's stars. It possesses an opaque dark ruby/purple color, a sweet nose of minerals, black fruits, cedar, and wood, dense, medium to full-bodied, highly extracted flavors, low acidity, and moderate tannin in the long finish. While it appears to be closing down far more quickly than the legendary 1990, it has layers of sweet fruit as well as an elevated level of glycerin. Give it 5-7 years of cellaring, and drink it over the subsequent 2-3 decades. Last tasted 3/97

1990 Chateau Montrose Saint Estephe
香港入口貨，當年購入價少於HKD3000。但近月炒風利害，凡100分滿分酒酒價飛升，現價可能要6k以上。開首香味不顯但很乾淨，無皮味。顏色超深，很dense很concentrate。透氣兩個小時後，Nose開始出現，含蓄得來有內涵，像有很多東西似的。入口很full而且滑正，length幾長，但未見很complex。老闆R君說要四個鐘之後有好東西出來，可惜人多等不來。****

1990 Montrose
Montrose
St Estephe, Bordeaux, France
Wine Advocate #109 (Feb 1997) Robert Parker 100 points Drink 2007-2037
In several tastings last year, the 1990 Montrose clearly revealed its incredible complexity and massive character. I was especially pleased when, at a large lecture I gave in London at the end of March, the 1990 Montrose, in very tough company (Cheval Blanc 1989 and 1990, Pichon-Lalande 1989 and 1990, Certan de May 1989 and 1990), proved the over-whelming choice of a crowd of nearly 400 British tasters. The wine is remarkably rich, with a distinctive nose of sweet, jammy fruit, liquefied minerals, new saddle leather, and grilled steak. In the mouth, the enormous concentration, extract, high glycerin, and sweet tannin slide across the palate with considerable ease. It is a huge, corpulent, awesomely-endowed wine that is still relatively approachable, as it has not yet begun to shut down and lose its baby fat. It thoroughly embarrassed the 1989, itself an exceptional wine. The 1990 needs 10 more years of cellaring; it should last for 25-30, possibly 40-50 years.

與壽星公P君一致認為今年在聚會之中最好的紅白酒是：
紅酒：2001 Emmanuel Roget Vosnes Romanee "Cros Paratoux"
白酒：2003 Chateau Haut Brion Blanc, Pessac Leognan
