2“Haut”新年酒聚 @鏞記酒家

無話可說！〝多謝〞已不能再代表什麼，因已說得太多了！我想不如說『無以為報，唯有 ... ...』J

話說上次破紀錄無故段片，對那支‵Haut白′完全沒有印象，深感遺憾！

好心腸的G君，這夜把“2 Haut”紅與白也帶來，還有檳與甜也要一手包辦，

三兩知己只要帶個人赴會便可；這樣的迎接 2011，高興之餘，就是感動！！

沒有鮑蔘翅肚，只點一些家常菜，兄弟們竟然讚好！

The Wines ~

1996 Krug Clos du Mesnil Brut Blanc de Blancs

A great Blanc de Blancs, so beautiful.

不少酒評家都認為，96年是繼90年以來，香檳收成最好的年份。

這支 Krug 的頂級系列，色澤金黃亮麗，極細緻的氣泡發放著幽幽的花香，待稍為回暖時，散發如麪包糠及橡木氣味，隨之而來的香料及乾果味，入口細緻柔和，有如天鵝絨般幼滑。收結甜中帶酸，餘韻悠長！很想再喝一次呢！

2002 Chateau Haut-Brion Blanc

A bit disappointed!

In terms of quality and value for money, much better choices with Burgundy white.

1998 Chateau Haut-Brion

Excellent red.

Ripe fruits, candied cherries, flowers and minerals emerge seamlessly in the glass, revealing gorgeous inner perfume.

1998 Giuseppe Quintarelli, Amarone della Valpolicella Classico

Surprisingly I like this one.

Big & powerful, but smooth & enjoyable yet, with layers of ripe red fruits and alcohol characters along with licorice and caramel roasted nuts. Tannin is just right. Lush and velvety despite the high alcohol content of 16.5% of which is locked well and no feeling of burning in throat. The finish is long with a hint of sweet spicy and candied fruit.
