歐頌酒莊紅葡萄酒

點擊次數：243705

A blend of equal parts Cabernet Franc and Merlot, the 2020 Ausone wafts from the glass with aromas of dark berries and cherries mingled with notions of incense, spices and raw cocoa framed by a creamy patina of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, layered and seamless, it's pure and concentrated, with a sweet core of fruit, generously extracted tannins and a vanillin-inflected finish. Less seamless and sensual than the lovely 2019, it will require some patience to come together, but there is no mistaking the quality of the terroir here.

2020年歐頌酒莊紅葡萄酒風格強勁，以其極佳的深度與層次感超越大多數酒款。品嘗此酒時，需要坐下來，花上些許時間靜待其風味在杯中綻放。它所蘊含的藍莓、越橘和煙熏覆盆子果味是如此濃郁，以至于初入口時略顯閉塞。隨著與氧氣的不斷接觸，風味進一步打開，酒體愈顯宏大，口感變得更為豐腴、順滑，巧克力和抹茶的風味也逐漸顯現，余味縈繞著鮮明的石灰巖氣息，是一款釀造精良的葡萄酒。歐頌向來善于剖析風土的各種特性，并將它們完美融合，盡顯大師風范。2020年份的歐頌酒莊紅葡萄酒實屬杰作，這一年是酒莊正式向有機種植轉變的第一個年份，酒款采用100%新橡木桶陳釀，部分酒液在3,000升大橡木桶中熟成。裝瓶后再品鑒，它的得分應該會更高，實屬潛在滿分酒款。

此酒起初較為內斂，散發著些許酸櫻桃和胡椒的氣息，在杯中與空氣接觸片刻后展現出紅醋栗與黑醋栗的香氣，隨后愈發濃郁的香料和樹脂芬芳層層襲來。單寧豐沛、強勁且富有顆粒感，伴有類似于石灰的礦物質風味，酸度精致集中且鮮活靈動，結構宏大，張力十足，質地如奶油般綿密柔順，極具包容性，讓各元素完美呈現，余味悠長。
