2017 Ulysses

Petrus 傳奇莊主喺 Napa Valley 嘅心血結晶——Mayacamas 山腳礫石層孕育出嘅極限量奢華紅酒，層次深邃到令人屏息。

【為什麼選它？】
1. 【酒王家族血統】：由傳奇釀酒大師 Christian Moueix（Dominus 同 Château Pétrus 的幕後功臣）親自打造，貴族基因不言而喻。
2. 【1988年以來產量最稀少】：2017 年經歷極端高溫，酒莊寧缺勿濫進行魔鬼級篩選，做出三十年來產量最少、精華最濃縮的一年，買一樽少一樽。
3. 【教父級骨架與絲滑口感】：擁有立體而緊實的單寧，卻像絲綢般順滑，帶有黑櫻桃、可可同茶香交織的深度。

【侍酒師私房筆記】
這款酒一開瓶，首先撲鼻而來的是極具層次感的黑茶香同英式奶油多士香氣，隨後是深色野莓、黑櫻桃同帶有泥煤、黑醋栗的煙燻氣息。一入口，你會感受到極其精細、猶如垂直延伸的立體單寧，完美支撐起飽滿嘅酒體。結尾伴隨着溫暖嘅黑可可粉和脆胡桃餘韻，悠長且充滿高級感。

【場景化配餐指南】
最啱用嚟配高檔炭燒和牛、港式慢燉牛肋骨，或者係迷迭香烤羊架。油脂豐富嘅肉類會令佢嘅單寧變得更溫柔，香氣更爆發。無論係商務宴請、慶祝大日子，定係週末約埋知己喺屋企開餐，呢支酒一開，全場品味即時升格。

【降維打擊對比】
相比起動輒三四千蚊起跳嘅 Napa 膜拜酒，呢支擁有同等「名門血統」同極致複雜度嘅佳釀，性價比高到令人震驚，絕對係懂行之人嘅精明投資。

Born from the prestigious gravelly clay soils of the Oakville bench, this wine is a masterclass in balance and deep concentration. The nose opens with enticing aromas of black tea leaves, warm brioche, and crushed forest berries. On the palate, it reveals rich, dense layers of deep cherry, refined balsamic, a touch of earthy peat, and fresh walnut. Its structure is defined by remarkably polished, vertical, and finely grained tannins that glide effortlessly across the palate, leading into a beautiful, lingering finish reminiscent of warm cacao powder. An unforgettable experience that commands attention with every sip.
