Background Story:
Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial millésime 1999 乃是今晚中階酒款中最貴的一瓶, 但卻是最不討人喜歡的一瓶, 幾乎在座的老老少少都公認如此, 所以就連在打上這篇文章都有那麼一點而厭煩, 但畢竟它是繼香檳王之後的第二把交椅, 只好多少在此要給個交代.

Official Comment:
“Moët & Chandon Vintage 1999 is the 66th vintage from the Maison. The last harvest of the century was one of excellence. It offered grapes of extraordinary and paradoxical maturity, combining both intensity and roundness…
Colour : Pale gold.
Aromas : White fresh fruits (peach, pear), dried fruits, hints of toasted and malt notes.
Tasting : One is immediately seduced by a forceful sensation, an inviting and savoury presence, affirming a radiant, ample and fleshy fruitiness. This generosity grows, stretching to a firmness of caramelised and almost mineralised citrus fruits.” - Website

Personal Comment:
Sight: Pale golden color, agree….!! Biggest bubble of the night.
Nose: Fresh citrus aromas.
Taste: At the beginning, nice acidity and off-dry taste. It feels like beer without bitter part
亮淡金黃色, 汽泡是今晚最大顆的冠軍, 清新的水果香, 微酸帶澀, 初嚐有如啤酒但不會苦, 在澀過後卻漸漸轉為苦味, 放久了之後, 苦味更是濃冽, 大泡泡們也都流失的很快, 最後所換得的結論是:”別被價錢給騙了.”
