木桐酒庄红葡萄酒

点击次数：1242750

The 2018 Mouton Rothschild is a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc—there is also a splash of all the Petit Verdot they had, but it doesn’t even register in the percentage. It has 13.8% alcohol, which is relatively modest for the vintage. Deep garnet-purple colored, it straight away pops with bright, vivacious notes of crushed blackcurrants, juicy blackberries and redcurrant jelly with slowly emerging nuances of candied violets, stewed plums, licorice and black tea, plus a waft of dusty red soil. The medium-bodied palate is built like a brick house with super firm, super ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness supporting the muscular black fruits, finishing long and savory with lingering mineral suggestions. This is so, so delicious and, due to the ripeness of tannins, approachable now. It will be difficult to keep your mitts off it for a good 5-7 years, when all those tightly tucked away nuances should begin to emerge. After that, it should improve over the course of 25 years or more and drink for 40+.

2018年份的木桐酒庄红葡萄酒由86%赤霞珠、12%梅洛与2%品丽珠酿造而成，酒庄所有的味而多也在混酿中，但数量太少，因此没有出现在混酿比例中。葡萄采收从9月10日持续至10月3日，酒液在12月初完成调配。酒款的酒精度为13.8%，单宁含量略高。它呈现深紫色，近乎黑色。与2018年份的其他酒款相比，这款酒起初略显内敛，而后逐渐展现出富有深度的温和李子、黑醋栗果汁、八角、蓝莓派和摩卡咖啡的香气，伴有些许糖渍紫罗兰、乌龙茶、樟脑、雪茄以及一丝碎石的气息。其酒体中等至饱满，充满华美的黑色水果与蓝色水果的风味，还夹杂着香料的味道，完美融入酒液中的酸度提升了华丽的口感，使得成熟的果味变得更加柔软，单宁尤为成熟，口感紧实且具有颗粒感。余味极为悠长，非常顺滑、美妙。

这款酒成熟多汁，充满黑色水果的风味，单宁丰富，且质地丝滑。口感浓稠、集中，结构紧致，单宁醇厚，但纯净的黑色水果风味贯穿始终。
