Tasting note

品飲筆記：酒體飽滿，黑莓與野莓香氣先行，帶有橘皮的清新提振，隨後出現煙草、皮革與石墨的鹹香與礦質感。口感結構分明，酸度活躍、單寧細緻卻堅實，餘韻長，帶有烤肉與香料的回味。 酒莊與田地：達歐位於高山，風冷、晝夜溫差大，讓果皮和單寧發展得很棒。釀造 Patrimony 的果串只取田裡最頂級的藤列，採收前會大幅限產並在分級後只使用自由流出汁。 釀酒工藝：全程採用山上自生野菌發酵，強調天然酵母帶來的質地與地域風味。30 個月的法國頂級橡木桶陳年，重點在於桶香與果實無縫整合，為酒帶來複雜度卻不蓋過山地本色。 口感印象：入口飽滿、齒頰留香且有明顯礦氣與肉香，適合與油脂或烤味重的菜餚搭配，一杯慢慢醒來會展現更多層次。

Tasting note: Dense, layered dark fruit opens to wild blackberry, bramble and a lift of orange zest, while savory tobacco, leather and graphite build through the mid-palate. The palate is full-bodied with bright acidity and finely integrated yet firm tannins, finishing long with roasted-meat and spice echoes. Producer notes: From DAOU Mountain, Patrimony is selected from the estate’s most concentrated rows. Yields are aggressively thinned and fruit is optically sorted so only the free-run juice of top clusters is used. The wine showcases the mountain’s famously high phenolics—depth, color and structure are priorities. Winemaking notes: Fermentation is carried out exclusively with native yeasts cultured on DAOU Mountain to preserve a sense of place and native texture. The wine was matured for 30 months in a rigorously selected set of French barrels chosen for seamless integration, delivering complexity without overwhelming the fruit. Vineyard notes: The vines sit high on DAOU Mountain where cool nights and wind-driven diurnal shifts intensify phenolic development and concentration. Only selected rows meeting exacting ripeness and structural criteria are harvested for this cuvée, producing a wine built to age yet balanced and fresh.
