羅伯特·基南25周年梅洛干紅葡萄酒

點擊次數：1972

Made from 100% Merlot, the 2001 Merlot 25th Anniversary, while close to full maturity, is capable of lasting another 8-10 years. This excellent, dark ruby/purple-hued offering exhibits sweet black cherry, mocha, coffee and white chocolate characteristics along with medium body, outstanding purity and a polished, elegant style. Michael Keenan has done an incredible job over the last decade, and his 2001s admirably demonstrate the fabulous potential of his wines. This is one source of Bordeaux varietals where the Cabernet Franc and Merlot are well worth a special effort to find.Tel. (707) 963-9177; Fax (707) 963-8209

This wine drinks a bit lean and austere, especially considering the vintage and neighborhood. The primary flavors veer toward herbs, tobacco, plums and coffee, backed up by hefty tannins and an overlay of oak. It’s very dry.——S.H.(6/1/2004)—— 85
