思福酒莊赤霞珠紅葡萄酒

點擊次數：12018

The dark ruby/purple-colored 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa is brilliant. Small quantities (7% of each) of Cabernet Franc and Merlot have been added to the blend, giving the wine more aromatic breadth and flavor dimension. Dense and rich, with high extraction, sweet fruit, full body, outstanding purity, and mineral/spicy aromas, the 1997 should drink well for 10-15 years. (release date 4/00) Tel.

A little reticent and cool at first; patient airing allows it to open up and display raspberry, cola and herbal aromatics, followed by spicy black-cherry fruit. It’s a very clean, pure, proper wine that will competently grace most dinner tables.——W.E.(11/1/2000)—— 89
