格蘭卡洛礫石赤霞珠干紅葡萄酒

點擊次數：5804

Smoky and alluring, with loam, tar, licorice, plum cake and mocha flavors that run along rich and powerful, yet rounded, tannins. The long finish pumps out fruit and tobacco notes. A very broad-shouldered wine. Contains 7 percent Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2009. 450 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–JM??Region: South Africa / Western Cape / Coastal Region / Paarl Select to Add

As expected, this wine’s vines are next to a gravel quarry in Paarl, a region known for producing powerful reds. Big flavors of black currant and berry are balanced by a poised acidity and spicy wood character, and while assertive, the wine maintains an elegant, dry reserve. Drink now or wait 2–3 years.——S.K.(6/1/2008)—— 91
