Tasting note

2005年的周伯通酒莊展現了聖朱利安產區釀酒的精湛工藝。酒液呈現出中等紅寶石色澤，散發著深色水果和明顯的烤橡木香氣。口感上，黑色水果的風味與細膩的結構巧妙融合，展現出會隨著時間柔和的單寧。橡木的影響力顯而易見，但預示著它將完美融入，稍加陳放將使這款酒達到最佳風味。建議醒酒兩小時，讓複雜的風味得以展開。搭配烤羊肉或烤牛排等經典波爾多美食，以襯托其鮮美的口感。

The 2005 Chateau Branaire-Ducru is a testament to the art of winemaking in the prestigious Saint-Julien appellation. With a medium ruby-red hue, this wine exudes a bouquet of dark fruits and a pronounced toasty oak character. On the palate, black fruit flavors are elegantly intertwined with a fine structure, showcasing drying tannins that promise to mellow with time. The influence of oak is evident, yet it is poised to integrate seamlessly, suggesting that a little more bottle age will bring out the best in this wine. Decanting for two hours is recommended to allow the complex flavors to unfold. Pair this classic Bordeaux with dishes like roast lamb or grilled steak to complement its savory profile.
