香氣 NOSE:
– 活潑層次豐富。
– 前調是甘草糖、波森莓冰淇淋和黑醋栗，
– 隨後是更深沉的乾梅皮、小荳蔻的香氣，以及龍蒿、成熟莖稈和煙熏味的鹹鮮氣息。
– 香氣濃鬱卻又沉穩——甜美、辛辣，略帶一絲野性。
– Lively and layered. Up front: licorice allsorts, boysenberry ice-cream and blackcurrant,
– Followed by deeper notes of dried plum skin, cardamom, and a savoury edge of tarragon, ripe stems, and smokehouse.
– It’s aromatic but grounded—sweet, spicy, and just a little wild.
口感及風味 PALATE
– 這款酒明亮而集中，充滿活力。入口即感受到多汁的口感，
– 展現出其深邃的層次——深色水果、香料以及一絲柔和的泥土氣息。
– 單寧顆粒細膩卻又柔順，如同亞麻布般緊緻，賦予酒體結構而不顯厚重。
– 餘韻沉穩乾淨，充滿張力、能量和沈穩的自信。
– Bright and focused with plenty of drive.
– There’s an immediate juicy lift, but the wine quickly reveals its depth—dark fruit, spice, and a gentle, earthy pull.
– Tannins are grainy yet smooth, with a kind of linen like grip that gives shape without heaviness.
– It finishes brooding but clean, with tension, energy, and a lot of quiet confidence.
