品酒筆記 Tasting Notes:
西澳名莊頂級佳釀；18個月法國木桶陳釀，人工收割挑選最優質果實；成熟果實釀造帶來豐富層次及複雜度；濃厚黑加侖子、甜美香辛料伴隨順滑丹寧；當今澳洲最佳紅酒之一，高分珍藏之選
Aged for 18 months in French barriques; hand-picked and sorted; fantastic complexity and vitality with layers of well ripened dark fruits; structured and fruit driven, blackcurrant fruit and lovely spicy nuances finishing with fine grained tannins; subtle layers of complexity arise from fruit harvested at the pinnacle of ripeness
其他評價 Other Reviews:
89% cabernet sauvignon, 4% petit verdot, 3% merlot and 2% each of malbec and cabernet franc blended after fermentation, hand-picked and sorted, destemmed (66% whole berries), wild-fermented in stainless steel, average 23 days on skins, matured in French oak (69% new) for 18 months. Right in the slot of the style established (with some polishing and refining) over the years. The complexity of the texture and structure is second to none, led by the born to rule cabernet, the other varieties obviously of minor importance, but important nonetheless. The might of the tannins is the key to this great wine.
