2021 Chateau Lynch Bages (375 ml)

來自 Pauillac 的經典名莊之作，酒色深邃，香氣以黑醋栗、深色櫻桃為主，伴隨煙草、雪茄盒與香草香氣；口感結構分明，酸度帶動著黑果的鮮明度，礫石帶來的礦感與略為粉質的單寧互相支撐，橡木使整體更顯細緻。葡萄以人工採收、現場分選，採用重力式進槽與恆溫不鏽鋼發酵，之後在法國橡木桶熟成18個月（新桶比例偏高），造就既有力量又耐放的風格。建議醒酒或陳放後飲用，搭配紅肉或野味最合拍。

A classic Pauillac from a celebrated Fifth Growth estate: deep, concentrated colour opens to aromas of cassis and black cherry layered with tobacco, cedar and subtle cigar-box spice. The palate is structured and energetic — ripe dark fruit framed by lively acidity, chalky minerality and polished yet powerful tannins. Built to age, the wine was hand-harvested, sorted and vinified using gravity-fed, temperature-controlled stainless steel vats before 18 months in French oak (a high proportion new), which adds spice and a refined oak lift. Vineyard parcels on Garonne gravel give the signature Pauillac firmness and ageing potential. Best enjoyed after decanting or cellaring; drinking window c.2027–2055.
