Tasting note

這款 2008 年份來自帕德索（Padthaway）的典藏酒，散發出濃郁的黑果香與香料氣息。聞得到黑莓、深色李子和一抹黑胡椒，陳年木桶帶來的可可、雪松與香草細節同時襯托出果實的成熟感。口感飽滿，果實濃縮但不笨重，單寧圓潤且有支撐力，酸度讓整體保持平衡，尾韻悠長帶有微微苦甜的巧克力與香料味。酒莊由經驗豐富的團隊管理，採取嚴格分級採摘與低產量栽培，葡萄園排水良好、日夜溫差明顯，使得果皮風味與結構得以完整保留，適合搭配烤牛、野味或陳年乳酪。

A concentrated, mature example from Padthaway showing layered dark fruit and savory complexity. Aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant and plum lift from the glass, backed by black pepper, baking spice and subtle cocoa oak. The palate is full-bodied and rounded — dense core of ripe dark fruit, polished yet present tannins and a savory undercurrent that keeps the wine poised. Oak aging provides cedar and vanilla accents while the finish is long and lingering with lingering spice and dark chocolate notes. Crafted by Two Hands Wines with fruit sourced from Padthaway sites, the wine benefits from attentive vineyard management and careful maturation to preserve fruit intensity and structure.
