Tasting note
這款2009年份來自納帕Oakville的經典酒款,香氣層次豐富,黑橄欖、橙皮與咖啡巧克力的深沉香調交織,伴隨藍莓與黑醋栗的成熟果味。口感飽滿有力,經過20天皮接觸和在新法國橡木桶中17個月的熟成,單寧細緻但有支撐感,餘韻帶礦物與香料的回甘。酒莊將手工採收的果實分地塊釀造(包含To Kalon等名園地段),在傳統與現代技術間取捨以求最佳品質。建議醒酒1至2小時再飲,或繼續窖藏,適合搭配紅肉與濃郁料理。
A distinguished Napa icon from the famed Oakville corridor, this 2009 Opus One opens with layered aromas of black olive, orange peel, espresso and dark chocolate, followed by ripe blueberry, cassis and a graphite-like minerality. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, shaped by 20 days of skin contact and 17 months in new French oak, offering polished, fine-grained tannins that give structure without overpowering the fruit. Estate fruit is hand-harvested from four western Oakville parcels (including holdings within To Kalon) and vinified with a traditional-meets-modern approach. Drink now with generous decanting or cellar through the drinking window; ageworthy, with a smooth yet slightly gripping close and a long, mineral-tinged finish.
