Tasting note

來自瑪歌名莊的2014年款，屬於傳統風格但不失現代分量。酒體飽滿，入口先是濃郁的黑色果實，隨即展開雪茄盒、煙燻與檀香的層次，帶出些微核果的苦甜與核桃香。酸度挺拔，單寧結實而有輪廓，尾韻悠長帶鹹香與泥土氣息。酒廠在混凝土槽發酵，陳年12個月（60%橡木桶、40%陶甕），兼顧果味純淨與結構感。田間位處瑪歌風土，礫石土壤與涼爽海風帶來細緻單寧與優雅下盤——建議醒酒1至1.5小時，配牛排或烤鹿肉最合拍。

A classic Margaux from a respected 3ème Cru Classé estate, this 2014 shows concentrated black fruit wrapped in cedar, tobacco and cigar-box aromas. The palate is full-bodied and energetic: firm, ripe tannins framed by fresh acidity give structure while smoky, earthy and walnut notes add savory complexity. Winemaking follows a traditional route — fermentation in concrete vats with oak maturation (12 months: 60% barrels, 40% amphoras) — preserving purity of fruit and building tannic backbone. Vineyard parcels in the Margaux commune contribute fine-grained tannins and an element of floral lift beneath the dark fruit. Drink now with decanting (60–90 minutes) or cellar through the 2020s for greater plushness.
