Among the 9 reds, Petit Mouton is just a so-so wine as expected. It looks quite simple and straight forward when you compare this with the others.

Pavillon Rogue is good, intense with certain complexity but it is not so intense as the Le Forts de Latour and not so complex as the Petit Cheval, Pensees and Bahans.

Bahans is surprisingly complex and rich but the flavour intensity put it down. Still enjoyable indeed.

Le Forts de Latour has reasonably high in complexity and intensity, a very good wine but it is still less complex than some of the others.

Carruades is a flawless wine which teaches you the word "balance". It is like Pavillon that it has a higher grade in all aspects but not outstanding.

La Grave a Pomerol is a disappointed one. It is a bit hollow on palate, albeit it reflects the terroir of Pomerol well.

Moulin St. George cannot win the match by its beautiful wood work this time. Conversely, it is rather subtle than its newer vintages but ripe fruit and good integration make it an enjoyable wine, tho the competitors this time are really strong.

Le Petit Cheval is amazing in terms of its complexity. It keeps on telling you that it has quite a lot to give and gives it subtly. This is the most complex one.

Pensees shows a good complexity as well but it seems that it is even subtler than Petit Cheval. Nice one.

In terms of quality : I rate Petit Cheval > Latour > Pensees > Pavillon > Carruades & Bahans > Moulin > Petit Mouton > Le Grave a Pomerol

My preference: Latour > Petit Cheval > Bahans > Pensees & Pavillon > Carruades > Moulin > Petit Mouton > Le Grave a Pomerol

喜歡 Les Forts de Latour 男士居多, 喜歡 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux 以女士為主 (大雄除外)。這結果合理,前者乾淨,細緻及柔滑;後者漂香,甜美,直接。

Bordeaux 八大加 Lafleur (及 Le Pin) 巳經太貴,要飲他們的風格,最接近是:

Lafite : Caruades de Lafite (1998年之後)
           Duhart Milon (2003年之後)
Margaux : Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux
Latour : Les Forts de Latour
            Pauillac de Latour (無咁似,有D影子)
Haut Brion : Bahans Haut Brion
                 La Clarence du Haut Brion (2nd wine 2008後改名)
Mouton : Petit Mouton? 唔係好似
             Clerc Milon
             舊 Lynch Bages, 窮人 Mouton?
             Haut Bages Liberal,窮人 Lynch Bages?
Cheval Blanc : Petit Cheval
Ausone : Chapelle de Ausone
             Moulin Saint Georges (2000年之後)
Petrus : 冇2nd wine, 最似 1998 La Grave A Pomerol (Parker講的)

Lafleur : Pensees de Lafleur

Le Pin : 冇2nd wine, 但唔係好特別(除左貴)

---

至於Bordeaux 八大,所出白酒只有三,四支。

Haut Brion (Clarence Dillon 家族)
Haut Brion - Les Plantiers du Haut Brion (2nd Wine)
Laville Haut Brion (正酒)

Chateau Margaux
Pavillon Blanc du Chateau Margaux (當天最吸引) - 不是 2nd Wine,係正酒。

Mouton Rothschild
Aile de d'Argent - 不是 2nd Wine,係正酒,比較弱。

如要把Bordeaux白酒排名,我的排名是
1. Haut Brion Blanc
2. Laville Haut Brion
3. Domaine de Chevalier Blanc
4. Pavillon Blanc du Chateau Margaux
5. Pape Clement Blanc
