2020 Petit Lion

2020年的雄獅二牌 'Le Petit Lion du Marquis de Las Cases' 展現了聖朱利安葡萄酒的優雅與精緻。香氣迷人，帶有煙草葉、櫻桃、雪松和香料的香氣，這款中等酒體的紅酒在口中散發出櫻桃酒、黑醋栗和煙熏櫻桃的風味。新鮮的酸度提升了酒的結構，而單寧則顯示出需要稍微醒酒一小時以充分展現其複雜性。這款酒由50%赤霞珠、44%梅洛和6%品麗珠混釀而成，並在橡木桶中成熟，增添了它的鹹香特性。這款'小雄獅'承諾在短短一兩年的陳年後就能帶來愉悅，使其成為近期享用和中期窖藏的多功能選擇。

The 2020 Chateau Leoville-Las Cases 'Le Petit Lion du Marquis de Las Cases' is a testament to the elegance and refinement of Saint-Julien wines. With an inviting bouquet of tobacco leaf, cherry, cedar, and spice, this medium-bodied red wine offers a palate graced with notes of kirsch, cassis, and smoky cherries. The wine's structure is lifted by a fresh acidity, while the tannins suggest a brief decanting of one hour to fully appreciate its complexity. A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, and 6% Cabernet Franc, it is matured in oak, adding to its savory character. This 'baby Leoville Las Cases' promises to delight with just a year or two of aging, making it a versatile choice for both near-term enjoyment and medium-term cellaring.
