2017 Chateau Leoville Las Cases (3000 ml)

來自聖朱利安著名酒莊的經典之作，2017 年度顯得成熟而精緻。香氣以黑果類果實為主，伴隨些許香菸木、石墨與礦物氣息。入口時酒體豐滿但不沉重，酸度帶來活力，單寧細緻滑順，質地柔和而有支撐力。陳年18個月的橡木使香氣更立體，尾韻悠長，帶出巧克力與甘草的回味。建議飲用前醒酒約90–120分鐘，搭配烤牛排或香草羊排特別合拍。

A classic Saint-Julien expression from one of Bordeaux’s great estates. The 2017 Grand Vin opens with concentrated blackcurrant and blackberry aromas edged by graphite, cigar-box and a savoury mineral thread. On the palate it shows ripe fruit framed by bright freshness and remarkably refined, tactile tannins — powerful yet silky — supported by 18 months of oak maturation. The finish is long and layered, revealing dark chocolate, liquorice and a lingering saline-mineral note. Well-made, elegant and built for long ageing; decant for 90–120 minutes if drinking now.
