Tasting Notes 酒評
“The 2015 Chateau Margaux was the final vintage under Paul Pontallier before his untimely passing in April 2017 and a specially engraved bottle has been made to honor the gentleman that did so much for this first growth. Nevertheless, one must be objective about the wine. It was so impressive in barrel, perhaps the finest from the left bank. Would it match up in bottle? The answer is an unequivocal affirmative. It has an incredibly perfumed bouquet with pure black fruit, oyster shell, crushed flowers and just a faint hint of black truffle. It is more nuanced than when I tasted it from barrel, taking its time to unfold in the glass with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine, almost chiseled tannin and a perfect line of acidity. Continuing from its showing in barrel, the Cabernet Sauvignon drives this wine forward and imparts a keen graphite thread from start to finish that lends it a Pauillac-like personality. Think of a more feminine Château Latour and you would be close. It is a long-term Château Margaux that will give pleasure for many decades, a fitting tribute to the man whose name is engraved on the bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2025 - 2070”
"2015年份的 Chateau Margaux 是 Paul Pontallier 在2017年4月英年早逝前最後一個年份的佳釀。為了紀念這位為一級莊做出卓越貢獻的紳士，酒莊特製了一款錒刻精美銘文的酒瓶。然而，我們必須客觀地評價這款酒。它在橡木桶中的表現令人印象深刻，或許是左岸最出色的酒款。那麼，瓶裝後的它是否也能保持同樣的水準呢？答案是肯定的。這款酒香氣馥鬱，純淨的黑色水果、牡蠣殼、碎花以及一絲淡淡的黑松露氣息撲面而來。與我在橡木桶中品嚐時相比，瓶裝後的 Margaux 酒更加細膩，醒酒後，香氣在杯中緩緩綻放。酒體中等，單寧細膩如鑿，酸度平衡完美。赤霞珠延續了橡木桶中的表現，賦予這款酒強勁的動力，從頭到尾都貫穿著一絲石墨的辛香，使其擁有類似 Pauillac 的個性。想像一下更柔美的酒莊 Château Latour ，你就差不多能體會到它的精髓了。這是一款適合長期陳年的 Château Margaux，能夠帶來數十年的愉悅享受，是對酒瓶上錒刻著名字的釀酒師的完美致敬。預計適飲期：2025-2070年"
