Tasting note

來自頂級酒莊的 2022 瑪歌，散發出成熟黑果與紫羅蘭的花香，並帶有石墨、雪茄盒與淡淡雪松氣息。入口層次豐富，果實濃郁卻不厚重，丹寧細緻如絲，配合一抹海鹽般的清爽，讓整體既有力量又保有優雅。此年份採收時間較早、產量極低，僅取約四成入主酒，經 20 個月法國橡木桶陳年，呈現出良好的結構與陳年潛力。推薦佐以烤牛排、烤鹿肉或熟成起司；若想早飲可於餐前醒 90 分鐘，讓香氣與口感完全打開。

A canonical expression from one of Bordeaux's greatest estates, the 2022 showcases an intense, perfumed bouquet of blackcurrant, violet and cool graphite, edged by cedar and tobacco. On the palate it is concentrated yet refined: layers of black and red fruit unfurl against silky, fine-grained tannins and a saline freshness that keeps the wine lit rather than heavy. The texture is dense without astringency, with spice and gentle oak framing a very long, focused finish. Producer notes emphasise the unique terroir and the balance of finesse, complexity and length. Winemaking for 2022 was meticulous — an early, careful harvest (8–27 Sep), very low yields and selection left only around 40% for the Grand Vin, followed by roughly 20 months in French oak. Expect remarkable aging potential; ideal drinking window is from the early 2030s into mid-century. For earlier enjoyment decant about 90 minutes to open the aromatics and soften structure.
