Letters from the Editors My First Magic Bottle 我的第一瓶夢幻葡萄酒 When I started drinking wine years ago, it was solely for fun and leisure and I never think of any career or business about wine. When we are reaching drinking age at that time, beers and ciders are the first choices, even the bitter Corona is trendy. Until recent years, we have all kinds of beers available in Hong Kong. In a recent beer judging, I even tasted 300 beers from different countries! At my teenage, wine is another beverage to share but not that popular. Young people at that time thought wine is old-fashioned and not tasty at all. We did not have much wine school like we have nowadays. But as many wine lovers did, a bottle brought me to the wine world that I can never turn back. In our cover story, James Halliday shares it’s a La Tâche that turned him to wine. It’s not necessary to be a luxurious bottle like that, but my magic bottle is simply a 1976 Ducru-Beaucaillou. Even today I have the tendency to choose this Château whenever possible. At that time, wine is much less popular than today. We have much choices from more wine shops and merchants than ever. Like what we observe during the Bordeaux Left Bank Cup competition, young people are more interested in wine today. We decide to create the Youth Palate editorial to recommend affordable wine for daily drinking and some good places for getting your bottles, stay tuned!
回想當初開始學飲葡萄酒，無非是作為一種新的嗜好，也不是為什麼考取功名，升官發財之用。既然到了喝酒的年齡，那時最常見的不是啤酒lager，便是甜甜 的cider，而且相對便宜，就算喝著苦澀的Corona，已經是高尚不已。直到近年，才越來越多不同種類的啤酒，在剛過去的一次啤酒品評，便已嚐盡了300款啤 酒，實在壯觀。回到那些年，除了啤酒，其他適合一班人分享的，便要數到葡萄酒了。記憶中，當時喝葡萄酒的人不多，尤其是年輕人，總會認為葡萄酒是難 喝、「扮哂野」的酒釀，而且也沒有多少學習葡萄酒的課程，像現在那麼普及。但正如大部分 酒癡一樣，總是遇到一瓶特別的葡萄酒後便不能回頭，那一瓶並不一定是什麼貴 重的葡萄酒，或像今期封面人物James Halliday年青時喝過的La Tâche那樣的 驚世佳釀。十多年前的一瓶1976年的Ducru-Beaucaillou便是令我「一入酒門 深似海」的那一杯。而我也被這酒莊徹底俘虜掉，更開始了我的葡萄酒之旅， 直到今天。
那些年葡萄酒不算普及，喜好的年輕人也不多，看到這幾年葡萄酒的興起， 無論飲的人還是酒商都今非昔比。尤其年輕一輩，從這幾年參加Left
Bank
Bordeaux Cup的學生，便知道葡萄酒對不少年輕人也有一定的吸引力，我 們的新欄目Youth Palate應運而生，專門介紹適合日常飲用的葡萄酒及買酒 好去處，分享更多關於葡萄酒的文化及心得。

Synchro Synchro is the synchronized alternative pen-name of a well-known local published writer. The use of this name is, not unlike Les Forts is to Latour and Carruades to Lafite, to cultivate younger vines for a fresher approach to produce an output specifically of subjective reviews of hotels, cruise ships, food, and wine, in different new-found terriors. Thus Synchro is unemployed of his own choice, and travels the world with all his disposable time, and his travel stories are to be read here.

A funny and warm online wineshop 充滿歡樂的網上酒窖
R
ecently more and more online wine shops are emerging in Hong Kong. People are more used to online shopping now like TaoBao, which saves the cost for renting a shop in the city. Of course it is more than just a website to be successful, especially with wine, which requires extra care when handling. A good example is set by WineShopAsia.com, an new online store developed by Linksconcept Ltd. We t a l k e d t o C h r i s , t h e online store manager and Patricio, managing director of Linksconcept about their idea of online store. They have a different approach to the conventional idea of self-servicing platform of online store. They would like Wi n e S h o p A s i a . c o m t o h a v e
Cru Corner_ALL file.indd 1
more humanity and fun! They spend over a year to develop the website and idea, making it more friendly and let people “browse” the wines they are looking for, instead of “searching” the right wine in a huge wine list. Besides, the fun part comes on the newsletter they are delivering, not just a promotion leaflet with offers only. They add a funny wine column on that so people would like to read it instead of trashing the newsletter. Their marketing team is also sending out souvenirs to customers on special occasion like birthdays, as something warm in this cold digital world. Delivery is always excellent with their own logistics team. Chris also reveals that they will include more items besides their own brands to give more choices to customers and for fine
wines, they will send out listing of offers regularly at the best price. For more, browse: www. wineshopasia.com 近年開始流行網上訂購葡萄 酒，畢竟香港的店舖租金實 在太高了，加上網上購物也 越來越安全方便，例如大家 喜歡在淘寶網購物。只需一個 網站，便可開門做生意嗎？ 當然不是那麼簡單，尤其葡萄 酒是比較貴重而又需要小心 處理的貨品，一間可靠的網店 是少不得的。最近由本地酒商 Linksconept開設的網上商店 WineShopAsia.com便是一個 好例子。 跟 網 店 總 監 C h r i s 及 Linksconcept的掌舵人 Patricio談及新的網店，他們 的理念是與別不同，傳統上網 店是為了減少人手處理訂單，
全靠客人在網站上自助購物， 完成訂單。而WineShopAsia. com卻多了不少人性化的服 務。他們花了近一年的時間開 發網站，務求讓所有功能更方 便，可以根據客人的喜好展示 所需的葡萄酒，而不是從頭到 尾去遂枝挑選。除此以外，他 們更加上其他元素，例如以 趣味為主的客戶通訊，不再只 是推銷產品的宣傳攻勢。除 了一般的推廣外，也會為客人 在特別的日子如生日送上紀 念品作為點點心意，沒有一般 的網店般冷。在服務方面，由 於有自己的車隊，送運的時間 及質素絕對有保證。購買他們 代理的葡萄酒自然更有保證， 但Chris也表示，為了讓客人 有更多的選擇，他們會不斷 擴展貨品種類，Fine Wine方 面，他們也會透過listing的方 式讓客人訂購。網址：www. wineshopasia.com

The Silver Knight 優雅的白銀騎士
Last month the Wynns Coonawarra Estate, represented by Jebsen Fine Wines in Hong Kong, was coming to celebrate the new vintages with Wynns Day events. Earlier in July, we had a panel tasting of top Australian Shiraz wines in which the Michael Shiraz from Wynns has won the first place and showed its potential as the famed Coonawarra Estate. Pioneer at Coonawarra Wynns Coonawarra Estate is one of the earliest estates in the region. As early as 1891, John Riddoch, coming from Scotland, has started planting vineyards and building the unique triple gables cellar. Later, Samuel Wynn, a wine merchant based in Melbourne also shares the same vision about the potential as John and brought this estate in 1951, renaming it as Wynns Coonawarra Estate, which becomes the icon winery of the region. Coonawarra is showing a very different terroir comparing to Barossa with a much cooler climate and the acclaimed soil of Terra Rossa. Magnificent “Red Earth” Wynns Coonawarra Estate owns about 70% of vineyard in this Terra Rossa region, highly sought after by many winemakers and cost AUD100,000 per hectare now. On top of the narraw cigar-shaped ridge, besides optimal exposure and drainage, which are the important aspects of getting great grapes, the red soil of Terra Rossa also give wonderful characters to the wine made on this terroir. Like the John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon, a tribute to the pioneer of the Wynns Estate, is made from grapes sourced mainly from this great vineyard, the intensity and richness, complemented by great elegance of aroma and fruitiness. This sets a perfect example of excellent Australian wines today. It is classified as “Outstanding” by the authoritative Langton’s Classification of Australian wine and has been rated 98/100 by James Halliday. An Elegant Shiraz

Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 $310 Wynns Coonawarra Estate Michael Shiraz 2009 $650 Wynns Coonawarra Estate John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 $650
Comparing to Cabernet, I fall even more for the Michael Shiraz with its cool-climate and elegant style. Nowadays, more people are not going for the over-explosive styled Barossa Shiraz that you would never want the second glass. But Michael Shiraz is very juicy, rich yet refreshing and elegant even for younger vintages. This new wave of wine style has become more popular because we do not always taste wines that need decades to mature. We want wines that are approachable when young, but still have the potential to show a complex, mature body after 10 to 20 years. Wynns Coonawarra Estate is representing the new era of Australian wines and leading the region or even the whole country in which direction that should be heading.

Chief Winemaker - Sue Hodder 上月捷成洋酒代理的Wynns Coonawarra Estate特別來港舉辦了一連串的Wynns Day活動，發佈2013 年酒莊推出的一系列新年份佳釀。還記得早兩個月在我們的每月品試當中，Wynns的Michael Shiraz榮 獲我們在眾多頂級澳洲Shiraz當中的第一名，見證了這位於Coonawarra產區最具代表性的酒莊。
Coonawarra先鋒酒莊 Wynns Coonawarra Estate 是區內最早期成立的酒莊之一，早在 1891 年，來自蘇格蘭的創辦人 John Riddoch便開始在區內種植葡萄，並建立起別具特色的三尖頂酒窖。後來同樣別具眼光的墨爾 本酒商Samuel Wynn於1951年把這酒莊買下，成為今時今日的Wynns Coonawarra Estate，而且 更成為區內最具代表性酒莊。Coonawarra有別於其他南澳的地區如Barossa，展現出不同的風格。 除了較為清涼的氣候，還有獨特的紅色土壤，形成了與別不同的terroir。 夢幻的紅色土壤
Wynns Coonawarra Estate有70%的葡萄是種植於名為Terra Rossa的紅土地上，是當地釀酒師夢 寐以求的terroir，現在每公頃的葡萄園叫價超過AUD100,000。在這狹長的山坡上，排水及日照都 非常良好，加上清涼的天氣，是釀造出現代派優雅葡萄酒的必備條件，而這紅土地的礦物成份，更是 釀造優雅葡萄酒的重要元素。就像是用作記念開創Coonawarra莊園的John Riddoch而推出的限量
John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon，便是採用來自Terra Rossa最好的葡萄釀造，優雅的酒體， 加上濃厚而細緻的果香，是Coonawarra，甚至是澳洲Cabernet Sauvignon的典範。難怪在澳洲葡 萄酒「龍虎榜」的Langton’s Classification of Australian Wine當中，這款只在酒莊認為出眾的年份 才釀造的酒釀，能被評定為Outstanding類別，而James Halliday也曾給予98/100的高度評價。 優雅的Shiraz 比起Cabernet，我更喜愛Michael Shiraz獨有的清涼優雅風格。不少人都開始對Barossa那些過度爆 發性、厚實的Shiraz感到厭倦，因為一杯下去已不想再喝第二杯。但Michael Shiraz那種清新優雅而又 汁多豐腴的口感更能贏得掌聲。不得不重新體會這種另類的澳洲Shiraz風格，也有更多的釀酒師開始在 不同的產區釀造這種讓人更能享受得到的酒釀，我們要的不是只能等待十年、二十年的所謂名酒，而是 要一些年青時美味可口，而往後數十年仍會不斷成熟、變化的經典酒款。Wynns Coonawarra Estate 絕對是走在澳洲葡萄酒的尖端，代表著澳洲酒壇對美味可口的葡萄酒重新定義。

Shiraz always comes to our mind when we talk about Australian wines. But such a huge continent could actually give us diverse terroirs, resulting in different wines of various styles. Regional Heroes are now common when we are exploring different wine regions. Yarra Valley is one of my favourite regions, featuring elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which could draw attentions from most wine lovers. One of the most representative wineries would be Coldstream Hills Estate founded by famous wine critics James Halliday. 提起澳洲葡萄酒，大家必定想起Shiraz，但其實澳洲地大物博，擁有豐富的terroir，釀造出不同風格的葡萄酒。尤其近年當地推行的

In 1983, he moved to work in and planned with his wife for retirement, focusing on his wine career. The love for Pinot Noir James told us that it was a bottle of 1962 La Tâche shared by Len Evans, his great wine tutor, that turn him into the wine world deeply. That is also how he falls for Pinot Noir, hoping one day that he could make his own bottle. During the 70’s, when he was researching for his book, he visited the newly developed Yarra Valley and was fascinated by the Pinot there. He said, “it was love at first sight, and I had the feeling that these wines will pass through all other Australian wines to go to the top! I was hoping to

Cover Story
Chardonnay Chardonnay is one of the highlight of Coldstream Hills Estate, with the exceptional terroir, viticultural practice and management similar to the way in Burgundy. As a Burgundian wine lover, James had traveled to Burgundy a lot and visited many estates, meeting winemakers and viticulturists, therefore, learning a lot about Pinot and Chardonnay. The Chardonnay made at Coldstream Hills could unveil fully the potential of Yarra Valley, and is particularly more aromatic and floral than other regions. In order to focus on the acidity, they started to pick up earlier in recent years and restrain the influence of barrels by using less new oak and undergo shorter aging. Tasting the 2012 Coldstream Hills Chardonnay and the Reserve Chardonnay, I found them lean with crispy acidity, very subtle note of oak, indicating the use of old barrel and shorter aging. They tasted like premium Chablis from 1er Cru. The Reserve wine is richer and more intense oak flavour, but still very restrained. After that we had the 2010 and 2011 vintages of Reserve Chardonnay, with similar style but more toastiness on nose and flinty mineral on the finish, the character of aged Chardonnay. James told us that they decided not to use Malolactic Fermentation to retain more freshness in the wines, resembling the style we have in Burgundy. At last, we had the 2005 Reserve Chardonnay which is different from the current vintages, showing more body, richness, but still retain enough acidity for freshness after aging 8 years. It’s not like some dull wine from the era which could never age well. Chardonnay 可以說是 Coldstream Hills 的招牌作，得天獨厚的地理環境，加上以勃艮 第方式種植及管理的葡萄園，由於 James 曾多次到法國勃艮第拜訪不同的酒莊，跟當 地的釀酒師、葡萄農交流，或多或少也受到當地的葡萄酒文化所影響，見識份外廣博， 細節上也有別於當時其他酒莊。因此Coldstream Hills的Chardonnay最能表現出Yarra
Valley 較清涼的氣候，比起其他地區的 Chardonnay ，花香更為出息，同時帶有充足的 酸度，近年更開始提早採收葡萄，對橡木桶的使用也盡可能減到最少。 品嚐 2012 年的 Coldstream Hills Chardonnay 及 Reserve Chardonnay 時，感覺纖 細，帶清爽的酸度，低調而細膩的橡木桶氣息，明顯使用了較多的舊木桶作短時間的 陳釀。感覺上很像高階的 Chablis 一級田酒釀一般。而 Reserve 酒款則帶多一點濃郁的 果香，也多了點橡木的氣息，但仍然很抑制，不會太多，收結及變化更多一點。及後 的 2011 及 2010 也帶相似的風格，火石般的礦物氣色，較重的煙燻香氣，是經過陳年 後的 Chardonnay 所散發出的魅力。近年釀造的 Chardonnay 更顯精進，更早採收葡 萄，使用更少新桶，不再進行乳酸發酵（ Malolactic Fermentation ），充滿勃艮第的 影子。像 James 曾經說過一樣，這樣的酒根本不像澳洲葡萄酒。而 2005 年的 Reserve
Chardonnay 也代表著當時的酒風，比現在圓潤、豐厚，但經過八年時間仍不失酸度， 保持著清新的感覺，不會是沉悶乏力的老弱殘酒。

Pinot Noir Pinot Noir is always James’ favourite grape. In Coldstream Hills everything is like in Burgundy: open top tanks; punching down of skin cap for extraction; use of French oak. James remembers that there were 2 winemakers from Burgundy visiting him and were mistakened by the wines served by James as Burgundian reds. Actually those wines were Pinot Noir from Coldstream Hills. We started with eldest Reserve Pinot Noir of vintage 2004. James also mentioned that his favourite would be 1992 but there is too to share now. I found the 2004 still very young, with good aroma and length, showing complexity and is still evolving till the end of the tasting. Then we moved on to the Pinot Noir and Reserve wine of 2012, showing very different styles. The Pinot is more forward and comes with refreshing fruitiness, making it a good companion of food. While the Reserve Pinot is more structured, but balanced and elegant, with a long finishing. Besides, we also tasted some single vineyard bottlings with different characters. The Deer Farm Pinot Noir 2012 is like a Chambolle-Musigny with attractive floral aroma, soft and delicate; while the Esplanade Pinot Noir 2012 shows power with spiciness and minerals, firm tannin structure reminds me of wines from Pommard. The difference is brought by difference in soil and vineyard positions. Like the Chardonnay, they are using less and less new oak for fresher wines. Maybe James is right, these wines are not like any other Australian wines, and they will be the pioneers of Australian wines. For the past 30 years, he is staying in Yarra Valley to see how his dream about Pinot Noir and Chardonnay becomes truly lengendary. James最引以為傲的酒釀絕對是Pinot Noir。完全參照勃艮第的種植及釀造方法，開頂的 釀酒槽以Punching down的方法從葡萄皮提取色素及單寧，使用法國橡木桶陳釀。James 憶述某次有兩位從勃艮第來的釀酒師，在盲品James準備的葡萄酒時，都誤把Coldstream
Hills的Pinot Noir當作勃艮第的酒釀。 我們先從最老的 2004 年 Reserve Pinot Noir 開始品嚐，一探這 Pinot Noir 的陳年潛 力。James透露自己最喜愛的是1992年的酒釀，可惜所剩無幾，不能隨便拿來試飲。我的 感覺認為這款酒仍然年輕，香氣及收結還很吸引悠長，在品試中到尾仍有不少變化。然後 品嚐Pinot Noir及Reserve Pinot Noir的2012年酒釀，顯現出不同的風格。Pinot Noir比較 偏重清新的果香，容易親近，是日常佐餐的良伴。而Reserve Pinot Noir則較厚實，然而不 失平衡優雅，收結悠長。 除此之外，一系列的單一葡萄園酒釀也很能表現出不同的個性：例如Deer Farm Pinot Noir
2012有著如Chambolle-Musigny般的花香，柔和脫俗；而另一款Esplanade Pinot Noir 2012，由於土壤及座向不同，那帶辛辣、礦物及厚重的酒體有如來自Pommard的酒釀， 屬於強而有力的酒款。跟Chardonnay一樣，減少使用木桶為酒帶來不一樣的風格。也許 跟James所說一樣，這些是超越澳洲葡萄酒的先鋒。經過三十年，他仍是住在Yarra Valley 中，見證著這他認為是聖域的酒區，釀造出美妙的Pinot Noir及Chardonnay。

Editor’s Choices Sicily is always famous for its Nero D’Avola. Nevertheless, the diverse terroir could make a huge varieties of wines, like the Nerello Mascalese made in the cool-climate, high altitude area. The style of wine is very similar to Pinot Noir. Like the one from Pasopisciaro and Duca di Salaparuta, showing some hint of Burgundian wines. For Nero d’Avola, many producers are now moving from the heavy, over-ripened style to lighter, more elegant style, just like the Cerasuolo di Vittoria from COS and Gulfi NeroBaronj. White wines give me less surprise, but in good shape. I am really impressed by the value of these wine that is really worth to explore different varieties and wine in this region. 西西里的葡萄酒一向以Nero d’Avola較為人熟悉，但其實在一個terroir如此多變的酒區，還有很多未被重視的葡萄酒，例如以Nerello
Mascalese釀造的葡萄酒，在高山清涼氣候能釀出優雅清香的酒釀，風格很像Pinot Noir，例如Passopisciaro及Duca di Salaparuta的 酒款，有著勃艮第的影子。Nero d’Avola葡萄酒當中，不少已開始擺脫舊有過於成熟厚重的風格，改為以優雅、細緻為目標。COS的
Cerasuolo di Vittoria及Gulfi NeroBaronj便是當中的代表。白酒方面，比起紅酒沒那麼多驚喜，但以價論酒，大部分的西西里葡萄酒絕 對是超值的，也是值得去發掘探索的地區。
Red紅葡萄酒： Passopisciaro IGT 2007 It’s like a Burgundy, with elegant and subtle fruit character and great nose after breathing. 十足十一瓶勃艮第，帶優雅而內斂的果香，在透氣十足的時候散發著誘人的幽香。 COS Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico DOCG 2007 The blend with Frappato grape make the rustic and big Nero D’Avola more balanced, it comes with great intensity and richness, and soft finishing showing the finesse. 可能因為加入了Frappato葡萄，使原本較粗野的Nero D’Avola更平衡，濃郁飽滿，收結柔和優雅。 White Wine 白葡萄酒： Gulfi Carjcanti Bianco 2009 Lively mineral and acidity make this aromatic white wine much more balancing. 活潑的礦物加上酸度使這款香氣突出的白葡萄酒更顯平衡。
Conclusion Sicily has grown in leaps and bounds during the past two decades and is rightfully considered the most exciting wine region in Italy today. Winemakers are taking a step back from using international varieties, and visionary star wineries such as Arianna Occhipinti, COS, Azienda Gulfi, Valle della’Acate, and Tenuta delle Terre Nere, who all practice organic agriculture and lowintervention winemaking. The high quality across the board also showed that even though Sicily only has one DOCG in Cerasuolo di Vittoria, excellent wines are made all across the region. Etna in particular is a focal point for many seeking out the wines of Sicily. Our top red wine deservedly came from COS, one of the early super stars of Sicily, demonstrating why Cerasuolo di Vittoria is indeed so highly regarded. Pure, complex, and exciting, it was unanimously the most representative of this lovely terroir with 100% local varieties. The top white wine on the other hand, Valle della’Acate Bidis 2010, was Inzolia with a touch of Chardonnay, showing how international varieties can help balance the natural appeal of a local favourite. 西西里在過去二十年來一直不斷地發展、成熟，在今日的意大利各酒區之中已經是最令人興奮的其中之一。釀酒師都開始倒過 來使用非國際性品種，一些出名的酒莊如Arianna Occhipinti、COS、Azienda Gulfi、Valle della’Acate和Tenuta delle Terre Nere等都 以有機種植的葡萄、而且使用低干預形式來釀酒。另外，縱使西西里只有一個DOCG產酒區Cerasuolo di Vittoria，但普遍各地區 的酒質都相當不錯，尤其是Etna更加是西西里酒區的一顆明日之星。 我們是次得分最高的紅酒來自COS，西西里最早成立的酒莊之一，呈現出典型Cerasuolo di Vittoria的優秀特質：純淨、複雜、而 且相當令人興奮，毫無疑問，這絕對是100%本地品種的當地最佳典範。另外得分最高的白酒則是來自Valle della’ Acate Bidis的 2010年酒款，使用Inzolia加入少許Chardonnay釀製，呈現出國際品種平衡出原生品種的味道和美態。

Wines Every issue in The World of Wines we examine wineries around the world, exploring incredible bottles and the winemakers behind every successful brand. In this issue’s The World of Wines, we discuss two of the most successful wineries of Australia and Chile respectively. First we meet cult Chilean winery Almaviva, which is the joint venture project of Vina Concha y Toro and Baron Philippe de Rothschild. Then we cross the world to Australia, as Neil McGuigan of McGuigan Wines, one of Australia’s most successful brands, recently stopped by Hong Kong. 每期的葡萄酒世界我們都走遍世界各地，發掘精彩的酒釀及故事跟大家分享。 今期我們走到兩間成功的莊園，分別位於澳洲及智利。首先我們遇上智利的精品 酒莊Almaviva，是由當地的領袖Vina Concha y Toro及法國的Baron Philippe de
Rothschild一手打造。然後還有來自澳洲的McGuigan Wines，由莊主之一的Neil McGuigan剛到香港，跟我們分享酒莊的故事。

The World of
Wines In the tradition of such Grand Vin estates, Concha y Toro decided to form a joint venture with Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA to make a single premium wine at a single winery—Almaviva—and contributed 60 hectares of their best land in Puente Alto (all taken from Don Melchor plots). They combined the incredible terroir of Chile with French winemaking, as Patrick León, former winemaker of Opus One and Mouton-Rothschild, assumed the helm. Puente Alto rests primly at the base of the Andes Mountains, where cool winds sweep down year after year and nurture the country’s most pristine examples of Cabernet Sauvignon. Nestled by these mountains and blessed with a gentle Mediterranean climate, the Puente Alto vineyards have the longest diurnal range of any vineyard in the Maipo, meaning that the temperature between day and night is greater, giving freshness and complexity to the wine and distinguishing these plots from the rest of the vineyards in the Valley, which are further away from the Andes. For Almaviva, the difference can be as great as 2-3°C—especially significant considering that during the day, the valley can be as hot as 30°C, while dropping to 5°C at night. This leads to a long ripening period which is just perfect for the Cabernet Sauvignon grape to reach ideal maturity. Mouton-Rothschild的釀酒師Patrick Leon，以法國的釀造方式展現這卓越的 Last month we had an mini-vertical tasting with Almaviva’s

The Branaire Style 周伯「風」
Text: Eddie Chui Special Thanks: Wilson Kwok @ W’s Entrecôte
In Hong Kong, we have some interesting nickname for many of the fine wines especially Bordeaux wines which are popular in the last few decades. Like the “Lee Pang” for Le Pin, “Mao Zedong” for Moët & Chandon, “Mo Tong”for Mouton, “Lan Chi Pat”for Lynch Bages, etc. Another remarkable nickname will be the “Zhou Botong”, a character in the famous novel by Mr. Jin Yong, for the classified growth in St. Julien, Château Branaire-Ducru. 年長一輩的酒迷很喜歡為不同的酒莊起個有趣的別名，例如「李鵬」、「毛澤東」、「武當」、「靚次伯」等等。而當中不得不提的 當然是波爾多St. Julien的列級酒莊Branaire-Ducru，她的別名便是在《射鵰英雄傳》中，人稱老頑童的「周伯通」。
Affinity to wine Earlier I met Mr. Patrick Maroteaux, the owner of Château BranaireDucru in a tasting dinner at W’s Entrecôte. We had a vertical tasting of 14 vintages to understand their style. Pratick brought Branaire-Ducru in 1988 which is a magnificent experience he would describe. His family, though locating in Champagne, is not related to the wine industry at all. His connection with wine started when he started working in Paris, where he was surrounded by wine dinners and tasting events. He just fell
anaire in love with wine and decided to devote his career in wine. In 1986, he
started traveling to Bordeaux to learn about the industry and how to run
a château, at the same time looking for estate to acquire. It is not easy to buy a classified growth in Bordeaux as there are only 61 grand cru in the left bank. Finally in 1988, he took the opportunity to buy this fourth growth

About ENOTECA Enoteca is by far one of our favourite shops in Tsim Sha Tsui due to the great convenience of its location in iSquare, as well as the broad selection of its wines. Alongside a great staple of premium wines in great vintages and sizes, the prices are very reasonable as well. Moreover, they have a selected focus on some very well balanced wines, and we’d say their selection is thoughtful and very enjoyable. The staff here are also extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and are led by Chris, their young Store Manager. 店舖介紹 位於尖沙咀的 Enoteca是我們最喜歡的其中一間酒窖，座落於方便至極的國際廣場，酒釀的 種類選擇多不勝數。除了一系列的年份高端酒款和大瓶裝外，店中亦有售賣一些價錢實惠的 中價酒款，雖然價錢較低，但這些酒款卻都擁有絕佳的平衡，相當不錯。在年輕的店舖經理
Chris帶領下，店中的工作人員的酒釀知識豐富，而且相當樂於協助客人，選擇適合的酒款。
Cru Magazine has introduced a new feature called Youth Palate in which we’ll invite a group of students every month to give us their opinions and remarks on a selection of assorted wines. This month we have the impressive HKU Space wine team, which won the Hong Kong finals of the prestigious The Left Bank Bordeaux Cup, earning them the right to represent our city in the competition, which is hosted in Bordeaux every year. This year, the HKU SPACE performed well in the competition, although they ultimately lost out the grand prize. Vintec is also working closely with us to sponsor these students and to train up a group of new generation of local wine connoisseurs. Led by coach and wine educator Chris So, the HKU Space team met us at wine shop Enoteca in Tsim Sha Tsui’s iSquare mall to try out six great wines. We judged them a little differently from our Shop Manager 店長 Chris Chau Chris has worked in Enoteca for 2 years, a Burgundian lover. 在 Enoteca 工 作 兩 年 ， 熱 愛 葡 萄 酒，尤其喜愛勃艮第酒釀。

Comment Editor’s Editor’s Comment During the tasting we challenged our students to a blind tasting of the six wines, with many of the team members excelling in this difficult challenge. The selected wines are not exactly always the most common choices for younger people to drink, as wines from Corbières like Domaine de Villemajou 2010 and the Languedoc like Magellan Chardonnay 2012 are relatively unknown. But they were nonetheless well appreciated, alongside more common household names like our Chianti, Barossa Ian Wong
Valley GSM, and New Zealand Chardonnay. 品評的時候，我們採取蒙瓶試飲的方式，大家都很喜歡這個經驗，也在嘗試猜想是什麼品種的葡萄酒。而今次 由酒窖推薦的酒款，也不是一般年輕人或初學葡萄酒的人士會選擇的類型，例如來自 Corbières 的 Domaine de
Villemajou 2010 紅葡萄酒及來自 Languedoc 的 Magellan Chardonnay 2012 白葡萄酒，都是較少見的類型。 但大家對這些葡萄酒都很欣賞，當然少不了常見的 Chianti 、 Barossa 的 GSM 及新西蘭的 Chardonnay 。
Vintec Allure Series With good selection of wines, you will need to store them properly. The Vintec Allure Series introduces two models, the V150SG2EAL which stores 90 bottles and the V190SG2EAL, which stores 120 bottles. Both are equipped with essential features such as double layered glass doors, monitor alarms, child locks, and security thermostats. To ensure that owners can check the constant temperature, there is a clear LED digital display as well that controls the top and bottom halves of the fridge for white and red wines. Wooden shelves and the classic sleek black of most Vintec fridges maintains a consistent refined look, and the inside of both fridges feature carbon filters, crystal white LED lights, and an integrated lock. Whereas the 90 bottle fridge has five wooden shelves, the 120 bottle fridge has six, allowing greater organization of your cases. Trust Vintec with providing the perfect environment for your wines to age effortlessly for the future. 有了美酒當然需要好好保存，一個可靠的酒櫃當然少不了。Vintec的
Allure 系列，當中有兩款型號，可存放 90 瓶的 V150SG2EAL 及 120 瓶的 V190SG2EAL 都表現出眾。具備雙層玻璃門，美觀實用；警佈提示功能 可避免忘記關門的危險，還有電子恆溫及嵌入式門鎖。用家也可以透過
LED 顯示屏清楚顯示酒櫃的工作溫度，更可調較上層與下層的溫度，來分 別存放紅葡萄酒及白葡萄酒。以黑色為主的櫃身，設計時尚，加上典雅的 木架，適合放在家中大小角落。其他實用功能包括，活性碳濾網可以淨化 進入酒櫃的空氣，還有不含紫外線的 LED 白光照明，減少對酒的影響。這 些設計都可為你心愛的葡萄酒提供最好的存放空間。

Melodie de Fombrauge Text: Eddie Chui
When we talk about Bordeaux, Grand Crus come to our mind as usual, but there are wines that are of good value and good quality with different style. Bernard Magrez is one of the pioneers in expanding their portfolio in the market. Besides the Grand Cru Château Pape-Clement in Bordeaux, he also owns wineries in South of France, Spain, Portugal, Napa in US, Chile and Argentina, etc., producing icon wines and also wines of great value. In Bordeaux he owns more than twenty wineries, which also produce wines targeted for daily consumption, like the Mélodie de Fombrauge. Mélodie de Fombrauge is made by Château Fombrauge located in St. Émilion. It is also one of the top châteaux owned by Bernard Magrez, which produces a grand vin classified as St. Émilion Grand Cru Classé and this full bodied cuvée usually need a long time of maturation before being really enjoyable. Mélodie de Fombrauge, on the other hand, is aimed to enjoy when it is young. The grapes are all sourced from the St. Émilion Grand Cru region, with majority of Merlot. The restrained use of oak aging make the wine really tasty, when we are decanting the wine, it releases great aroma of floral and fruity nose. On the palate, it is juicy and refreshing, with smooth tannins. It does not need much time for breathing before enjoying, and this great valued wine is good for daily consumption with food or on its own. 說到波爾多，大家總會想起最有名的各個列級酒莊，但其實也有不少是價格合理，作為日常 飲用酒款也不錯的葡萄酒。要想到最積極發展不同風格的波爾多酒莊大亨，其中一位必定是
Bernard Magrez。他除了擁有著名的波爾多列級酒莊 Château Pape-Clement外，在法國南部、 西班牙、葡萄牙、美國加州、智利、阿根廷等世界各地都擁有酒莊，除了精英酒款外，也有釀 造不少價廉物美的葡萄酒。在波爾多的二十多個酒莊當中，也有不少是釀造日常飲用的波爾多 酒款，例如是次提及的 Mélodie de Fombrauge。
Mélodie de Fombrauge是由 Bernard Magrez旗下、位於 St. Émilion產區的 Château Fombrauge釀 造。 Château Fombrauge的正牌酒是屬於頂級的 St. Émilion Grand Cru Classé等級，有著濃厚的 酒體，也相對需要較長時間的成熟期。而 Mélodie de Fombrauge則是以果香及年青時飲用為目 標，由 St. Émilion Grand Cru產區所採收的葡萄釀造。以 Merlot為主的酒釀沒有使用過多的橡木 陳釀，使得酒體較輕盈，酒香卻十分突出，在品試中把酒倒進透氣瓶時散發出陣陣的花香跟果 香，入口豐腴多汁，單寧順滑，不用長時間醒酒便可以品嚐。而且價格也是屬於日常佐餐或飲 用的葡萄酒之列。

When my taxi arrived at Grand Hyatt Singapore around 9pm, my flight being delayed, an attractive young lady greeted me by name at the door. It surprises me but this is possible with some real efforts. She has a name list of arriving guests. Next morning at the Club lounge the same young lady greeted me and asked if I had a good night. Such is the hospitality of Grand Hyatt Singapore, and this is a very large 600-room plus hotel. It looks to me that the majority of guests at the Club lounge are returning guests of which I also count myself in. Best Singapore hotels are concentrated either in the Orchard circuit or in Marina Bay, and Grand Hyatt is my first choice in Orchard Road where most commercial activities are concentrated.

StarWorld Hotel is located in the heart of Macau and has become one of the city’s most distinctive landmarks. Comfortably sitting at 39 stories, the hotel was originally designed by renowned Hong Kong architect Rocco Yim, whose patchwork glass patterns are famous for creating an illusion of light and shadow. As Galaxy Entertainment Group’s first super five-star hotel project, StarWorld’s comprehensive collection of extraordinarily beautiful designs and luxurious rooms charm Macau’s landscape. Topping this are the four 108 square meter premium suites that provide the ultimate comfort. Guests for example, can even choose between four types of pillows in case one is too soft or too hard. As one of Macau Tatler 2012’s Top Bar and Nightclub winners, the stellar Whisky Bar on the 16th floor pairs stunning views with some of the best whisky in the world. There is a vast indoor seating, but also a clear open-air platform. The al-fresco area has regular professional dance performances and also live band music, and for guests who want something less strong than whisky, there is also a variety of wine, cocktails, and bar snacks. Since 2008 the bar has won accolades for its beverages and food, which combine Asian and international flairs. 澳門星際酒店座落於澳門的核心地段，是友誼大馬路上最為特色的地標性建築。樓高

HAJI Gallery presents “Post-contemporary and dissociation” 2-year-old birthday plus back to Hong Kong Exhibition Tour 《好孩子的後現代生活解構》- 2歲生日聯歡暨回歸香港巡迴展
A young and upcoming artist, Leumas To, once made a wish to hold his solo exhibition before the age of 23. Fortunately, he did it in the very last month of his 22nd birthday at HAJI Gallery. Since then, his exhibition’s life began. After tour to different cities in Mainland China, Leumas is back to Hong Kong and back to HAJI. “Post-contemporary and dissociation” is his seventh exhibition. Are the good children growing up too fast? Are they dissociated? What’s romance to them? How do you define independency? Are you living with the culture? Are you growing up too slow? You may find the answer by checking his illustration works and photographs in the exhibition. 年輕插畫藝術家 Leumas To 在他 23 歲前，許下要在 22 歲時舉行藝術展的願望，結 果，在他 22 歲的最後 1 個月，成功在 HAJI Gallery 舉辦了他人生第一次展覽。自 此之後， Leumas 的展覽就不斷出現了，他更巡迴到內地兩次再回歸香港，回歸
HAJI Gallery ，舉行他人生的第7次展覽。是次展出的是成長了的「好孩子」，經 過兩年，在社會上和情感上有甚麼生理變化？ Leumas 為後現代生活解構。甚麼是 浪漫？浪漫代表自由嗎？獨立是甚麼？我們和這個城市一起呼吸麼？我們有沒有機 會好好地成長起來，還是在原地踏步？參觀展覽的人，透過畫作與相片，浪漫回歸 到他們身上。

Subjective Objects | HK HAJI Gallery 特約靳埭強策展《香港物誌》藝展 This is undoubtedly the most powerful group exhibition ever. Curated by Kan Tai-keung, the group exhibition features nine extraordinary renowned local artists in Hong Kong. The strong line-up included Kan Tai-keung himself, anothermountainman (Stanley Wong), Freeman Lau, Rex Chan, Benny Au, Chow So-hing, Clement Yick, Hung Keung, and Margaret Chu. “ I deliberately invite local artists who grew up in Hong Kong, they are from different generations. We use object as the subject, to create art of Hong Kong.” Kan Tai-keung said. For the key visual of the exhibition, each of the artists is imprinted on the coin of Hong Kong. This one dollar coin represents the memory of Hong Kong. With the vintage pig money box, it’s like a pot of dream, save your memories and creativities at Subjective Objects, HK. Exhibition starts from Sep 13th to 30th at HAJI Gallery. 這是一個陣容空前鼎盛的聯展。能夠邀請得到這麼多殿堂級的大師及新貴參與展覽 的策展人當然也有不少份量，是次展覽的策展人就是靳埭強。展覽的藝術家，排名 不分先後，包括靳埭強自己、又一山人、劉小康 、陳漢標 、區德誠 、周素卿 、易 達華 、洪強及朱卓慧。 策展人靳叔說：「藉《香港物誌》藝展的策劃，我邀請八位生於斯或長於斯，不同 年代在香港起步的藝術家，以生活中有所感悟之物，誘發創意，為這展覽創作藝術 品，抒發各自的香港情懷…」單是展覽的 Key Visual ，就是以香港一蚊銀配以各藝 術家的頭像，借物發揮，加上已漸式微的豬仔錢箱，把創意與回憶儲入香港情懷。 展覽九月十三日至三十日在 HAJI Gallery 舉行，九星連線在 HAJI 。

The terroir The soil is poor, composed of limestone, sandstone and Upper Cretaceous marine shale. The sea air from the Bay of Bandol compensates for the terroir’s acidity and low rainfall. Tasting notes Garnet robe. A complex nose with red fruit, wild strawberry, leather and spice notes – as well as a hint of liquorice freshness. A lively bite and rounded tannins contribute to a suave overall effect in the mouth.
