品諾德酒莊夏特丹珍藏赤霞珠干紅葡萄酒

點擊次數：25071

The 2004 Chateldon Cabernet Sauvignon contains 10% Merlot and was aged for 14 months in French and American oak. Dark ruby red in color, it sports an attractive perfume of cedar, cassis, cherry, violets, and incense. Medium-bodied, sweetly-fruited, forward, and with a sense of elegance, this savory effort has enough structure to provide pleasure for another 5-6 years. It is an outstanding value. Bodegas Pinord is a family-owned estate dating back more than 150 years. The existing winery and cellar was constructed in 1942 and has a capacity of over 5,000,000 bottles. Both sparkling (Cava) and still wines are produced from Penedes and neighboring Priorat.Importer: Andres Arribas, Wine Associates, Whitehouse, NJ; Tel: (908) 534-8946

Not a lot of pop or life to the nose. What there is, however, is mostly light, herbal and pickled. Flavorwise, this shy wine settles on dry cherry and herbs, while the finish is rooty and leafy. Elegant in some ways, but our bet is that it’s a little too weak and green for most palates.——M.S.(4/1/2009)—— 84

Supple, with fresh cherry and tobacco flavors and just enough tannin for grip. Drink now. 17,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Penedès Select to Add
