玫瑰山莊園紅葡萄酒

點擊次數：249819

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2016 Montrose is a little youthfully shy to begin, but with coaxing, it unfurls to reveal the most beguiling scents of wilted roses, oolong tea, crushed rocks, wild sage, star anise and candied violets over a wonderfully pristine, well-defined core of crushed blackcurrants, black raspberries and kirsch plus wafts of pencil lead and wood smoke. The taut, muscular, medium to full-bodied palate straddles jaw-dropping intensity and finesse superbly, featuring a solid backbone of ripe tannins and giving a firm frame right through the incredibly long, exquisitely nuanced finish.

去年2月20日，玫瑰山莊園（Chateau Montrose）紅葡萄酒的調配工作剛剛結束。酒液剛剛經過搬運，但其品質卻讓我非常驚訝，在以20分為滿分的情況下，我對這款酒的評分居然是19-20分。這周，我再次品鑒到這款酒。哇！酒款風味與1990、2003、2009、2010這幾個年份完全不同。這一年份的酒款表現更加精致、復雜，或許這種風格才應被視為玫瑰山莊園的珍寶？酒款風格強勁，但風味相對內斂，口感柔和，對于玫瑰山莊園來說是一種全新的表達。酒款風格罕見，酸堿度（PH值）低至3.55，多酚總指標（IPT）高達78。這兩個要素進一步凸顯出酒款單寧的緊致。酒液在口腔中不斷沖刷，單寧的表現絕不突兀。酒液顏色深邃，香氣濃郁，口感精細，果味成熟，風味純凈而帶有深度。酒款入口非常美妙，口感中段風味進一步提升，致密，隨后復雜感越發明顯，風味慢慢融化，顯現出豐富而高貴口感，風味復雜。酒款余味多汁而極其悠長，清新感在口中久久不散。
