Henri Giraud Esprit Nature Champagne N.V.

Henri Giraud是唯一一家僅用香檳地區生產的橡木桶的香檳酒莊。莊主Claude Giraud堅持用100%橡木桶陳釀，而製作橡木桶的木材全部來源於Aÿ村旁邊的Argonne森林，手工劈片後再進行多年乾燥。寒冷的氣候讓Argonne的老橡木緊密精緻，可以與酒香完美的融合。

這種珍稀的釀造方法賦予酒莊的葡萄酒馥郁的果香與極佳的複雜度，這是其它一些酒莊無法匹及的。ESPRIT香檳系列是讓人們初窺酒莊釀製香檳的精髓，體會Aÿ風土的絕妙滋味，體驗氣泡的喜悅。

*91 pts Decanter :*
Esprit Nature is the perfect entry-level Champagne for lovers of vinous and dense Champagne. With notes of orchard fruits, spices and almonds, it offers its full scope in the mouth with a delicious texture. 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay, based on 2016 and with 50% reserve wines.

*90 pts Antonio Galloni,*
The NV Esprit Nature is a classic Henri Giraud wine built on texture and creaminess. An increase in the percentage of Pinot Noir is one of the reasons the Esprit is so rich and inviting in this release. Red berry, dried flowers, mint and brioche notes build into the textured, resonant finish. All the elements fall into place in an effortless, gracious Champagne to savor over the next few years. Dosage is 7.5 grams per liter.

酒莊歷史
1625 年， Francois Hemart 來到香檳區的愛伊〈Ay〉，並在此安頓下來，展開了釀酒的職志。20 世紀初，Leon Giraud Hemart家族之女結婚後，即利用嫁接技術重建葡萄園。1950年代，Hemart香檳酒莊以現任酒莊主人Claude 的父親為名，改名為Henri Giraud並沿用至今。並為了紀念創始人，創立了Francois Hemart的品牌，彰顯其光榮的歷史！
目前，Giraud-Hemart家族由第 12 代繼承人Claude Giraud 掌舵，一改以往只保留旗下酒款給法國及義大利等地的習慣, 把Henri Giraud香檳推展到國際市場，和更多酒迷分享這來自自香檳區精華葡萄園的佳釀。

愛伊〈Ay〉─卓越的香檳區特級園
過去 10個世紀以來，愛伊所產出的酒總被評選為世界上最優質、經典的佳釀。法王亨利四世曾說：“如果我不是國王，我願意作為封地在愛伊的王子”，因而被暱稱為『愛伊爵士』。16 世紀初，愛伊並成為法國國內及國際間唯一榮獲了 AOC 品質認證的葡萄產區。
17 世紀末，由於愛伊特有的風土條件再加上一群頂尖的釀酒人才，始能孕育出這名聲遠播的氣泡酒，在當時被稱做『愛伊酒』。直到1887 年，才出現了『香檳』的名稱。時至今日，香檳區的324個葡萄園中，只有 17 個被列為最出色的特級園Grand Cru，愛伊更是其中深具歷史意含以及地理指標的重心。

★《大紅蝦》評為意大利“年度最佳酒莊”
★Antonio Galloni: "Bellavista’s Brut Cuvee is one of the go-to wines at my house. It never disappoints."
★JS91/AG90/vivino3.9(7520酒評)

Bellavista Alam Gran Cuvee Franciacorta Brut NV

產區： Franciacorta DOCG/Italy
品種： 77% Chardonnay, 22% Pinot Nero, 1% Pinot Bianco.

Bellavista 被最新的2017年《大紅蝦》雜誌評為全意大利“年度最佳酒莊”。

今日介紹呢款Franciacorta獲得大紅蝦三杯獎，Bellavista是大紅蝦二星酒莊，當之無愧的Franciacorta翹楚。呢款Alma從1977年開始釀造，採用傳統工藝釀造，由來自Franciacorta十個不同地區10個地塊精選的葡萄混合調配釀造的，並且添加了6~9年齡的珍藏酒，一方面增加了酒的複雜度，另一方面又保證了品質的穩定性。 Alma的拉丁語含義是“滋養”，表達了對Franciacorta土壤滋養生命，創造奇蹟的敬意。其目標是釀造最純淨和諧的氣泡酒，代表了Franciacorta和Bellavista的風格。

Bellavista自成立以來就在莊主Vittorio Moretti先生的帶領下，成為了葡萄酒界的時尚先鋒，內外兼修。自2004年起，便是米蘭La Scala劇院的官方合作夥伴暨供貨商，並與一些奢侈品牌保持著深入的合作。

Franciacorta 產區介紹:
風景如畫的意大利Franciacorta，生產出了風味獨特的高品質氣泡酒。與香檳一樣，Franciacorta產區的氣泡酒主要以Chardonnay和Pinot Nero 葡萄釀製，有時也添加一點Pinot Bianco。並且，其釀製方法同香檳的二次發酵法無異。

此產區葡萄園面積達 2,283公頃，年產量約1000萬瓶，受可用種植面積所限，最高生產潛力僅可達到2,500萬到3,000萬瓶。這與法國香檳產區32,900公頃的種植面積及其3.2億瓶的產量相差懸殊。Franciacorta產區氣泡酒生產商稱，這裡有著與眾不同的氣候、土壤等條件，周邊有起伏的丘陵和覆蓋著白雪的群山，湖邊以及山上微冷的風給葡萄帶來清爽和香氣。該地區土質類似於香檳區，氣候相比較而言要暖和一些，這使葡萄成熟得更好。而且其釀造方法上也有很多獨到的細節，使其產品獨具風味。

*91 pts James Suckling* :
"Pretty aromas of bread dough, lemon and cooked apple. Fresh. Medium to full body, tangy acidity and a fruity finish. Always an outstanding sparkling wine. Drink now."

*90 pts Antonio Galloni:*
It has a lively and persistent mousse with fine perlage. It is an attractive pale yellow in colour, with green reflections. Perfumes of white flowers and stone fruits, with subtle hints of vanilla, which follow through on to the palate. Fine, elegant yet rounded and beautifully balanced. The grapes used are 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Bianco and Pinot Nero. The mousse is white, lively and persistent, the bubbles small and long-lasting.

【西班牙國寶級Vega-Sicilia 加持，飲家必選】
【Born to Make History】

Vega Sicilia Alion 2008 ,WA95/IWC92/ *vivino4.3(2356酒評)*

Vega Sicilia 買下了15公里外的破產的Bodegas Liceo, 成立Alion, 目標是"Born to make History" 。1991年成為莊主Pablo Alvarez 第三個仔(大仔酒王Unico, 二仔Valbuena, 和96年出世的細仔Pintia)。100% Tempranillo, 來自靚區Ribera del Duero的靚村Valbuena, Pesquera, Padilla, 30年樹齡, 14個月全新法國最出名橡木桶(Radoux/Taranssaud/Saury/Vicard), 出售前入瓶再15個月以上係酒窖陳年。

95 pts Neal Martin, Wine Advocate (205), February 2013:

If I was asked to hold up a bottle of what modern Ribera del Duero should taste like and what is should aspire to, the 2008 Alion would be the one in my hand. It has more intensity and volume on the nose when compared directly with the 2007. Tasted in February 2012, and then in January 2013, it remains a fabulous expression of Ribera del Duero. It boasts of heavenly bouquet of black plum, crushed violets and tobacco that soar from the glass, while displaying a level of delineation that would serve a lesson to many of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, silky-smooth tannins that belie the structure underneath. The acidity lends the 2008 a little more edginess than the 2007, while the finish has a wonderful sense of symmetry and focus. World class. Drink 2016-2025+.

★布根地風格的Rioja
★TA96/JS95/WA93//vivino4.1(854酒評)

Bosconia是一款非常芳香而且充滿女性特色的Rioja，緊緻的結構感加上豐富的水果特質，令其在長達5年的桶陳時間裡愈加優雅。如今飲起來仍是恰似精緻的輕熟女，不失新鮮的活力，不沾塵灰的純淨。

Vina Bosconia是裝於布根地型酒瓶中，原因很簡單，因為一開始這個葡萄園主要種植就是黑皮諾Pinot Noir ，這是創莊莊主Rafael Lopez de Heredia y Landeta先生為了仿效法國布根地而開發出來的葡萄園，一直十九世紀末，這個園高比例Pinot Noir所釀造出來的紅酒，還一直命名為 “Rioja Cepa Borgona”(布根地品種Rioja紅酒)。
作為Rioja地區最古老的三家酒莊之一，R.Lopez de Heredia是少部分仍保持家族式經營的酒莊。釀造這款酒的葡萄均來自於海拔465米左右的El Bosque葡萄園，平均樹齡約為40年。El Bosque葡萄園面積為十五公頃，其中十一公頃為Tempranillo，兩公頃為Garnacho，以及各一公頃的Mazuelo和Graciano。秉持酒莊的傳統，Vina Bosconia Tinto Reserva同樣在大型橡木桶中進行陳年培醞長達五年，裝瓶後必須再經過六到八年的瓶中陳年才能上市。

*96 pts Tim Atkin*
The Bosconia vineyard, which has always been vinified separately at the winery, has more clay in the soil and tends to produce richer, plumper wines that are priced below Tondonia. This cuvée of Tempranillo with 10% Garnacha and 5% each of Graciano and Mazuelo has caressing sweetness, supple tannins and notes of dill and tobacco. 2019-28

*95 pts James Suckling*
A stunning vintage of this Rioja classic. Ripe and concentrated, yet cool and delicate with tons of fine tannin. Lots of earthy, autumnal Burgundy-like nuances, as well as notes of violets and plums. Long, complete finish. Drink or hold.

*93 pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate*
2006 was a hard year to follow, even if 2007 was a great year in Rioja and exceptional for López de Heredia. The 2007 Viña Bosconia Reserva shows a little tannic, fulfilling the reputation for being a more rustic wine than Viña Tondonia. There are notes of chocolate-covered cherries and hints of forest floor. Maybe with a little more time in bottle? 70,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2014.

CVNE Imperial Gran Reserva 2007
特價$480， 6支起 *$440* /支，歡迎Mix。

Rioja Alta 最精華葡萄園中心的Haro，名莊林立，其中簡稱為CVNE 的Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España(西班牙北方葡萄酒公司)，創立於1879年，堪稱利奧哈最重量級的老字號酒廠。

雖然隨著時代的進步更新了大多的釀酒設備，但在CVNE酒廠中留著的是百年傳承的熱血，雖然也推出充滿現代風格且貴價的特別酒款，但在旗下眾多品牌當中，最知名的當然首推”Imperial”，這個從1920年開始生產上市的酒款，全部以來自位於Villalba和Haro的自有葡萄園，其中85%為Tempranillo並混合約15%的Graciano和Mazuelo，手工採收並嚴格篩選最健康且成熟度最佳的葡萄，只限定在最好的年份生產”Gran Reserva”，通常經過10年以上的陳年才會推出市場，酒香熟美複雜，酒質精緻、風格優雅，而且具備陳年實力。

*93 pts Wine Advocate:*
The 2007 Imperial Gran Reserva is again a great wine in the making. Red fruit and plenty of spices (nutmeg), the palate shows great acidity and abundant tannins that need resolving with time in bottle. Great tension and nerve. I think it will take some time to be released, which is good as it will require some patience. Drink 2016-2021.

*93 pts Stephen Tanzer,* International Wine Cellar, September 2014:
Brilliant ruby-red. Complex, highly perfumed scents of red fruit preserves, vanilla, woodsmoke and sandalwood, with a sexy floral quality in the background. Quite concentrated for the vintage, offering sweet red and dark berry flavors firmed by a spine of minerality. Closes smooth, broad and spicy, with outstanding focus and fine-grained tannins. While one could enjoy this wine immensely right now, my guess is that it has at least a good decade-plus of life ahead of it.

80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon
木桶陳年： 17個月法國橡木桶，70%新桶。

【店長推介，超值unbelievable value Super Tuscan】邊飲 邊原瓶醒酒3小時，香氣由黑加侖子、Rosemary，慢慢再出雲呢拿、香料，不過與3倍價錢的紅酒比香氣都唔算複雜；不過呢支的palate真係好平衡，單寧順滑，酸度恰當好處，架構工整，juice得包住成個口，谷出好多口水，相信再醒2小時更好。

La Massa is made up of grapes from 27 hectares of vineyards, all with southern exposure in the Golden Basin of Panzano. The vineyards are planted at 360 meters above sea level. The soil is a mixture of scaly clay and galestro (loose marl and limestone). The soils fall into three distinct geological formations; an undifferentiated complex of clayey schist and calcareous marl, a formation of scaly yellow and grey marl (galestro) and a third segment of large blocks or layers enclosed in a clayey matrix. The wine is aged in 20 percent new French and 80 percent one-year-old French oak barrels for 12 months. 94 Points, James Suckling "Extremely perfumed with currant, berry and rosemary aromas. Even some lavender. Medium to full body, very fine tannins and lots of fruit. A delicious and refined wine.” 92 Points, Wine Advocate "Warm notes of black cherry and blackberry. This is a velvety and richly textured blend that displays beautiful concentration and color saturation. This is an upfront and immediate wine that offers loads of beautiful intensity. You absolutely can't beat this unbelievable value from Tuscan.

Giampaolo Matta 從小生長在拿坡里，原本要接手家族所經營的皮革事業。但是 Giampaolo 是一個有著自我想法的人，他喜愛葡萄酒。當 90年代他來到 Tuscany 觀光，他突然發現這裡是他心儀已久的地方---他找到了他的新家。

雄心萬丈的 Giampaolo Motta 於是留在 Tuscany，買下位於 Panzano in Chicnti 地區的酒莊，這裡離佛羅倫斯和 Siena 約有30到 40分鐘的車程。Motta 在剛開始前幾年不斷的尋覓著自己的風格，之後很快的確立了要栽種 Sangiovese、Merlot 和 Cabernet Sauvignon，完全不理會 Chianti Classico DOCG 法令的枷鎖，釀製波爾多風格的葡萄酒。 現在 La Massa 酒莊佔地 25公頃，只生產 La Massa和 Giorgio Primo 兩款酒，酒莊年產量達 13萬瓶。如今 Giampaolo 有顧問Carlo Ferrini 從旁協助，旗艦酒 Giorgio Primo 於 1993年到 2001年連續獲頒 Gambero Rosso 的最高等級 Tre Bicchieri (三杯子)獎項。此外，更是受到 Robert Parker 和 Wine Spectator 等全球酒評家高度的評價。

葡萄園: La Spinetta酒莊在Tuscany的葡萄園，8公頃，海拔180m，樹齡12歲，南向。土壤是混合的粘土和沙土。

九月初採收，採用原生酵母發酵，在不銹鋼桶中與酵母共同培養3個月以增加醇厚的口感和復雜的風味。

酒莊酒評: 淺金黃色，瀰漫著Vermentino的典型香氣：成熟的梨子、香瓜、青檸和西柚，交織著茴香和迷迭香的氣息；入口即可感受到完美的酸度，口感純淨，非常新鮮，回味帶有一絲生薑的餘韻。

"This offers better Chablis tipicity than many 2015s with its quinine, citrus, mineral reduction and iodine-scented aromas.

★與世界上醉貴、醉偉大的Corton-Charlemagne、Batard- Montrachet特級園白葡萄酒相抗衡

 Guffens-Heynen Macon-Pierreclos Premier Jus de Chavigne 2015

Macon-Pierreclos 1er Jus de Chavigne是馬貢2015年份極好的成就之一！散發著烤堅果、黃油果子、柑橘類水果的香氣。入口酒體飽滿，濃郁而奔放，非常純粹乾淨，酸度非常好，收尾也很長。

這款Premier Jus de Chavigne的釀酒葡萄來自Chavigne葡萄園。 Chavigne葡萄園可以說是Guffens酒莊的代名詞，Chavigne葡萄園位於Macon-Pierreclos產區的一片非常陡峭的斜坡上，這裡的土壤擁有豐富的棕色粘土，也有很多“pierrailles”小石頭，Guffens在這裡擁有3.3公頃的土地。

萄酒大師Jasper Morris MW曾經寫到過：“Pierreclos產區位於Mâconnais和Beaujolais之間的十字路口......這裡有很多紅葡萄酒，以及來自Domaine Guffens-Heynen的特色白葡萄酒。”

另外，因為酒莊有好幾款酒的葡萄都是來自Chavigne葡萄園，所以酒莊在酒款名字中Chavigne葡萄園的前面加上了Premier Jus、Tri等代表不同工藝的名詞加以區分。 “Premier Jus”在法語中是“第一道果汁”的意思，由此得知，這款是使用“自流汁”釀造的一款Chardonnay！(一般來說，白葡萄酒由於沒有帶皮發酵的過程，在發酵之後獲得葡萄汁都是自流汁，自流汁說的是依靠重力作用從發酵容器底部自行流出的葡萄汁，也叫自流酒)

要說在Macon，誰能一下子就讓人驚艷，必然是Guffens-Heynen酒莊！他是布根地南部豪傑，Macon產區的先鋒領袖！

《葡萄酒評論》（La Revue du Vin de France，簡稱RVF）曾走訪了布根地50 多家釀造Chardonnay 葡萄酒的著名酒莊，並排出了前10強榜單，Guffens-Heynen是本榜單中唯一一個來自Macon產區的酒莊！這個榜單裡都係鼎級酒莊，我們今次幸運攞到這款Chardonnay的2015年份，大家不要錯過！

RVF給酒莊的評價：“我們一點也不想否定Beaune風土的霸主地位，但是， Jean-Marie Guffens（莊主）以自己的行動書寫了Macon產區最美​​麗的一頁……他發揮自己的聰明才智，凸顯出Macon風土的價值。”

Decanter的專欄作家Andrew Jefford曾寫到：“在Guffens-Heynen酒莊出現之前，沒人認為Macon的Peirreclos和Pouilly-Fuisse的白葡萄酒能與世界上醉貴、醉偉大的Corton-Charlemagne、Batard- Montrachet特級園白葡萄酒相抗衡，但如今Guffens-Heynen做到了。”

Guffens-Heynen酒莊的莊主兼釀酒師Jean-Marie Guffens是位天才釀酒師，曾被Robert Parker評價為“世界上最偉大的Chardonnay白葡萄酒釀酒師之一”！

 93 pts William Kelley , Wine Advocate (2018):

The 2015 Mâcon-Pierreclos 1er Jus de Chavigne is a superb achievement in this vintage, wafting from the glass with notes of toasted nuts, buttered orchard fruit and preserved citrus framed by subtle reduction. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and generous, with great purity, incisive acidity and excellent concentration. I'm happy to have a case in my own cellar.

 92+ pts Stephen Tanzer , vinous.com, November 2017:
Bright medium yellow. Very reduced aromas of apple, ripe peach, hazelnut and spices. Wonderfully plush, silky and fine-grained, yet with a superb spine of lemony acidity running through the wine. Boasts terrific intensity and lift to its slightly salty flavors of peach, nectarine and spices. Finishes with a distinctly phenolic edge that will require some aging to harmonize with the wine's fruit. I underrated this wine a year ago. It boasts outstanding tactile solidity: cut me a slice of this! 2020 - 2028

【法國隆河靚莊Pegau 教皇新堡紅酒】

Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Reservee 2014

WS93/JS91/WA90

*93 pts Wine Spectator:* 
A gutsy style, with a frame of brick dust around a core of steeped cherry, plum and blackberry fruit. The back end pulls in dried sage, savory and tobacco notes. The finish lingers over a singed chestnut hint. Rock-solid and unabashedly old-school. Best from 2020 through 2030.

*91 pts James Suckling:* 
A wild, rustic edge to this assertive and punchy fruit-driven Châteauneuf-du-Pape. A smooth black cherry and blood plum-flavored palate. Appealing tangy freshness to close. The rusticity denotes drink now or as a much older wine.

La Spinetta Langhe Nebbiolo 2013

91 points Antonio Galloni :

The 2013 Langhe Nebbiolo is one of the best values in La Spinetta's lineup. The darker side of Nebbiolo comes through in this powerful, deep wine. Super-ripe dark cherry, spice, new leather and a kiss of French oak hit the explosive finish. Frankly, this is better than many Barbarescos readers will come across. Most of the fruit for the Langhe Nebbiolo comes from Starderi, in Neive.

Winemaker Notes: Typical light red of Nebbiolo with aromas of dried rose petals and dark fruits such as plums and blueberry. Full bodied, chewy and rich with dusty tannins and a juicy yet elegant finish.

The Rivetti brothers of La Spinetta have revolutionized the conception of long-ageing and gruesomely tannic Piedmont wines. Their range of Barolo, Barbarescos and Barberas are powerful yet forward and fruity. The modern style of their wines certainly makes Nebbiolos from the northwest corner of Italy much more approachable when young.

96 pts James Suckling:
This is a powerful and rich red with black truffle and blueberry character. Sweet tobacco, too. Full body, tannic and flavorful. Yet open and polished. Fantastic finish. Great ageing potential. Drink or hold.

Altesino Brunello di Montalcino 2010

產區：Tuscany, Italy

品種：100% Sangiovese

Altesino, Brunello di Montalcino 2010 (JS95/RP93) 表現得比較陰柔，有香草、香料類等比較複雜的香氣，口感細滑、優雅，有點飄逸, 可能因為我們習慣了 Brunello 的濃妝，北區的淡然看上去更似素顏、更具風土。 Altesino位處Montalcino 北區的。因北區比較涼，常常比中、南部的酒較圓潤或者平衡，更多風土的特點。然而，北區從來都是這個出名產區最不起眼的後花園，因為長久以來，當紅酒評人把光環全加在中、南部酒莊的頭上。 

95 points James Suckling (Dec 2014):  Wonderful decadent aromas of musk, orange peel and plum follow through to a full body, with soft tannins and a long and rich finish. Salty and savory. Layers of gorgeous fruit. Drink or hold. 

93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Feb 2015):  Altesino's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino stands proud among its peers. No other wine I tasted among the new releases in Montalcino achieves this unique level of aromatic finesse and distinction. The bouquet is almost purely floral in character with a strong emphasis on pressed rose petal, dried violets and potpourri. The fruit tones are less emphatic and include bright cherry and red currant. In the mouth, the wine's compressed texture is accented by fennel seed and licorice. the 2009 vintage had more power and heat, but this version shows elegant restraint. 93+ (ML) 

93 points Wine Spectator (Jun 2015): Expressive aromas of eucalyptus, juniper and wild rosemary give way to sweet berry flavors, though the juniper, rosemary and emerging mint accents linger. This is like a walk in the woods, with a fresh, elegant frame. Best from 2017 through 2030. 

產區：Margaux 品種：Cab Sauv. , Merlot 波爾多二級莊Ch. Lascombes (2nd growth of GCC)的副牌酒，採用平均樹齡約35年的葡萄釀造，再根據不同的葡萄品種分別儲存在全新的法國橡木桶約16-20個月不等。開瓶後果香四溢、甜美圓潤、紅色水果和玫瑰花香撲鼻而來，帶有少少奶油、煙燻氣味，酒體中等，結構均衡，單寧柔軟，值得細細品味。 Case offer : HK$2700 / 12 bottles.

目前係市面買到的Amarone一般都是年輕的年份，老少少的都價錢飛升。今日到貨 2007年 Zenato Amarone Classico,  是繼Amarone酒王 Quintarelli 和 Dal Forno 之後的最佳選擇, 用波爾多的說法就是"超二級"，係Amarone 中流砥柱。 Zenato Amarone Classico 2007，WA94/WE93/WS93/vivino 4.4(1147酒評)。

94 pts Wine Advocate (Feb 2012):
The 2007 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico boasts fabulous intensity and richness. This is an especially heady, port-like Amarone imbued with tons of depth. Chocolate, black cherries, leather and spices wrap around the serious, palate-staining finish. The 2007 needs quite a bit of time, but it is hugely promising. Readers who appreciate a big, powerful style of Amarone will love Zenato’s 2007. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027.

Zenato酒莊，來自於莎士比亞筆下羅密歐與茱麗葉的故鄉，浪漫之都 唯羅納(Verona)，至今擁有50年歷史，以生產優質的 Amarone 與Valpolicella 著稱，獲得國際評審的讚譽。

葡萄採收後，經過精細篩選，最健康的葡萄被放於通風良好的房間風乾3-4個月。榨汁後浸皮15-20天，木桶陳年36個月。這款酒架構龐大，香氣逼人，口感豐潤、濃縮，花香帶出了黑李、香料、皮革、菸草香氣，口感會有些苦韻，aftertaste極長。
