Tasting note

這瓶1988年的瑪高二牌帶著成熟而優雅的風格，果香已轉為成熟黑果與森林地表的氣息，伴隨雪茄盒、皮革和些許香料。口感圓潤，單寧細緻而有支撐，酸度維持清爽，使整體不失平衡；法國橡木桶陳年留下適度香草與烘烤感。釀酒沿用莊園的傳統手法，葡萄在瑪歌半島典型的礫石土壤和海風影響下成熟——1988年初冬溫和、春季偏濕，夏末至秋季轉乾熱，10月3日開始採收。建議輕輕醒酒約45分鐘，適合搭配紅肉、帶骨牛排或陳年硬質起司，同時也適合慢慢品味它的層次變化。

A restrained, mature expression from Château Margaux's second label, this 1988 offers classic Margaux poise. Aromas of black fruits, cedar, leather and tobacco lead to a balanced palate with silky texture and refined tannins — the bottle-aged smoothness noted by the producer is evident. The wine was matured in French oak and shows developed tertiary layers of forest floor, graphite and savoury spice. Vineyard notes from the vintage: a mild winter and wet spring gave way to a hot, dry late season; picking began on 3 October. Ready to drink now, it rewards gentle decanting and pairs beautifully with hearty red meats and aged cheeses.

Winery

瑪歌酒莊（Château Margaux）享譽波爾多一級名莊，以優雅與產地風格著稱。Pavillon Rouge 為酒莊的二軍酒款，沿用莊園嚴謹的釀造與法國橡木桶陳年作法。酒莊現由Laura Mentzelopoulos 持有，1988年釀酒團隊中包括 Philippe Barré，且深受 Emile Peynaud 對平衡與細緻度理念的影響。葡萄園多為礫石壤土，靠近大西洋的氣候帶來日夜溫差，有助成熟度與結構的發展。

Château Margaux — a First Growth estate renowned for finesse and terroir-driven wines. The Pavillon Rouge is the estate’s second label, produced under the supervision of the château team and historically vinified and matured in French oak. Ownership under Laura Mentzelopoulos has continued traditional standards; 1988 winemakers listed include Philippe Barré and the influence of Emile Peynaud’s philosophies on precision and balance.
