Medium golden. Nose of honey and wood. Strong acid and touch of honey, apple, wood and mineral but very smooth. The finish is long, fruity and sweet. Overall, a less-sweet-more-acidy version of sauternes. A terrific white.
山钢与日钢合并思考
日钢的名声大振，部分源于在四川赈灾日钢老总的巨额捐赠，且不说坊间有关日钢的各种传闻，此举为日钢赢得了一定的媒体好感，或许这也是为何今天山钢日钢合并媒体偏向日钢的一部分因素。中央电视台的新闻周刊节目做过一期有关两家合并的专题，主持人白岩松加上嘉宾吴晓波和一个清华的教授，虽然基调是谴责，但只是说了20分钟无用的废话。整个节目依旧是白的个人主观评论，既无严谨的分析，也无事实数据支持。
收购兼并，如同合作博弈，在自由市场必于双方预期皆有益而方能进行，虽然有研究表明大多数事后效果远未达预期。对于钢铁类的资源企业而言，收购兼并所带来的好处，无非以下几条：产能扩大带来的政府政策方面的扶持；由于合并产生的产能限额再优化；由于规模效应带来的议价优势；由于合并带来的共同业务的精简。
逐条分析，当前来说，似乎除了政府方面的考虑，其他方面并无明显的优势。对于产能的调整现阶段根本不需要收购兼并来实施，而相反的是恐怕这个会成为政府主导此次合并的一张王牌。议价谈判，结合中钢协最近的表现，此举更是空中楼阁，而精简优化，从之前的联合的莱钢济钢来看，更是没影的事。一言以蔽之，一切的美景，都是嘴说出来的。
回顾这一合并的过程，有两点最为人诟病，一是政府主导，作为上市公司，似乎没人提到莱钢济钢其他股东权益在这一行为的体现，更多得到照顾的是本已经地位尴尬的政府机关山东冶金总公司，如此行为，恐怕对将来的投资者信心会有不利影响；第二，在媒体的报道中，整个合并过程似乎是拉郎配，在经济形势转好的今天，日钢有资格待价而沽，“和谐”的合并造成的国进民退是当前媒体所不愿意看到的。
合并以后的大山钢并非一路平坦，一来经济形势难料，如果经济下行，则日钢反而成为包袱。二者管理堪忧，这次合并造成的人心不和会对将来的企业管理留下后遗症。第三，即便是政府行为，如何协调地方和省级财政的关系，第四，市场多变，小钢铁企业相比大型钢企，具备灵活性和准确的市场定位，消灭小型钢企，降低市场灵活度，与整体经济无益，而且反而使之成为国家的包袱，再说将来若再出现这种情况，再如何应对。
企业具备相当的容错性，新山钢虽然不会出现瞬间崩盘的危险，但其中产生的不职业，不负责却值得警惕，任何产业，怎能求助于简单的规模扩大，依此遗留下的问题，又如何进行问责。不过从另一个可能来说，从执行力来说，此次合并恐怕不会产生实质影响，为了赶时间的仓促合并其中难免各方利益的妥协，留有颇多后手，合并一事的主导者手中牌恐怕已经出了大半，日钢又非鱼肉，如此一来，恐有大山钢之名而无其之实。整个行为，到最后于实体经济活动无影响，而只是政治行为和某小部分人利益的提升。
'In Bordeaux, Peter Sichel of the Maison Sichel negociant said that the average price per bottle for top Bordeaux wines fell to 160 francs (about $33.50 at current exchange rates) for the 1991 vintage, from 205 francs ($43) for the 1990.
This sharp drop, after several years of mounting prices, partly reflected the fact that the 1990 vintage is widely regarded as superior. But in part, Mr. Sichel said, "it showed that the bubble has burst." '
The book has three parts of seven chapters each. Burgess has stated that the total of 21 chapters was an intentional nod to the age of 21 being recognised as a milestone in human maturation. The 21st chapter was omitted from the editions published in the United States prior to 1986.[3] In the introduction to the updated American text (these newer editions include the missing 21st chapter), Burgess explains that when he'd first brought the book to an American publisher, he'd been told that U.S. audiences would never go for the final chapter, in which Alex sees the error of his ways, decides he has lost all energy for and thrill from violence and resolves to turn his life around (a slow-ripening but classic moment of metanoia—the moment at which one's protagonist realises that everything he thought he knew was wrong).
At the American publisher's insistence, Burgess allowed their editors to cut the redeeming final chapter from the U.S. version, so that the tale would end on a note of bleak despair, with young Alex succumbing to his darker nature—an ending which the publisher insisted would be 'more realistic' and appealing to a U.S. audience. The film adaptation, directed by Stanley Kubrick, is based on this "badly flawed" (Burgess' words, ibid.) American edition of the book. Kubrick claimed [4] that he had not read the original version until he had virtually finished the screenplay, but that he certainly had never given any serious consideration to using it.
It's all about trend, nothing less, nothing more.
