品酒筆記：
(Allen Meadows' rating: 91-93points)
與空氣隔絕，令目前潛藏的果實給掩蓋了。更有趣的是，濃厚、如絲絨般、近乎豐富的味道，具備溫和的口感；與悠長、複雜、緊緻的尾聲，形成適度的對比。如果你打算陳放5年或以上，這款精美的Epenots絕對值得考慮。出類拔萃。(於2020年品飲)

Tasting note:
(Allen Meadows' rating: 91-93points)
Reduction presently overshadows the underlying fruit. More interesting are the rich, velvety, indeed almost opulent, flavors that possess a suave mouthfeel that contrasts moderately with the beautifully complex, long and decidedly firm finale. This fine Epenots is one to consider provided you intend to allow it at least 5-ish plus years of cellar time. Outstanding. (tasted in 2020)
