  Dinner with DBY (Imperial Treasure Great World City): Beautiful red fruits, spice, some game, hint of barnyard, in prefect stage now velvety and elegant on the palate, med acid with long persistent finish

  经历五个小时的醒酒后才会开始绽放。香草、罗勒、甘草、奶油、芝士的强大存在感让辛香成为主线，而成熟的黑莓和黑樱桃果味，与少许泥土气息，提升了香气的复杂度。入口有令人钦佩的集中度，即可享受中段口感中“拆解”的乐趣，也能在接触舌尖的瞬间单纯快乐的感受浓郁甘甜的抚慰。酒精感和出挑的酸度在整个入口体验中时隐时现，充满结构的变化性，而单宁在开瓶14个小时后融化成细腻的质地，在舌面上的抓力使整款酒的古典风格为之一变，与胡椒、薄荷、焦油和橡胶的复杂香气糅合，打造出仿若北隆Heritage的雄壮感。

  开瓶即饮，中宝石红色，闻香是话梅，泥土，灌木丛，梅果一类成熟果香，入口酸度高，酒液咸，矿物感清晰，单宁紧涩，有点糊嘴，颗粒很细腻，草本植物，红李子和梅果的香气，后段是融合的香料感，风格非常古典的一支酒，优雅而又深邃，余味是悠长的梅果味，香气爆棚。从开瓶起状态一直在爬升，刚开始香气有点闷，后面整体更加舒展，表现始终很平衡，很内敛，这还不是它完全绽放的时间，但今天的表现已经足够令人满足。

  Tasting lunch. This was dark and brooding. I like the structure and freshness here despite the richness. Dark fruit, gingerbread dominate the aromas with earthy elements. Good but I prefer the Rayas style.

  A bruiser - I think the high alcohol (15%) affects the balance of the wine here. On the palate the heat dominates, flavors are muddled and not clearly delineated. Fruit is very primary with prominent kirsch like flavors and aromas. I keep going back to the alcohol but hard to see this aging gracefully.
