Label Artist: Victory Year (Philippe Julian) 

What more can be said about this wine other than it is extraordinary and not very much was made! Incredibly haunting bouquet of flavoured coffee, cloves and cinnamon. Raspberries (utterly surprising), gingerbread, blackcurrants and mint all battle on the palate with coffee and chocolate lining up to get in on the act. It finishes in such elegant fashion - so silky and so seamless. This is not a banal, huge wine, it is just a totally complete Claret, perhaps the greatest ever. In 2019, amazing, essence-like aromas of black fruits and liquorice - so precise. The flavours follow through from the bouquet. It still has wonderful concentration and freshness - a miracle of nature, seemingly eternal. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

酒標藝術家：勝利之年(菲力浦•朱利昂)。除了出色非凡及極度罕有外，對這佳釀實在無話可說。洋溢咖啡、丁香及肉桂芳香，出奇的紅莓、薑味餅、黑加侖子及薄荷味，加上咖啡及巧克力氣息，收結優雅，細滑如絲。這並非一巨碩作品，但絕對經典波爾多風格，亦可能是最傑出的。2019年品嚐，瀰漫著濃如香水的奇美黑色水果和甘草芳香，結構明淨、精細。馥郁過後，味道充盈口腔。多年後依然濃烈爽勁，彷彿是大自然的奇蹟饋贈，不受時間沖淡。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師 M.W.）
