Tasting note
2012年的作品一號是對不妥協品質追求的見證。這款酒散發出黑果香氣，並由森林地板和石墨的微妙香氣加以強調。酒的圓潤口感和絲滑的單寧環繞著黑醋栗、黑莓和黑櫻桃的經典風味。這款精緻且值得陳年的酒提供了活潑的酸度和堅固的結構，並有著長久的餘韻。這款酒由79%的赤霞珠、7%的品麗珠、6%的小維鐸、6%的梅洛和2%的馬爾貝克混釀而成。最好在醒酒2小時後享用，並與紅肉、野味和成熟的乳酪搭配。
The 2012 Opus One is a testament to the pursuit of uncompromising quality. This wine effuses dark fruit aromas accentuated by subtler notes of forest-floor and graphite. The wine’s round mouthfeel and satiny tannins wrap around classic flavors of cassis, blackberry and black cherry. This refined and age-worthy wine offers lively acidity and a sturdy structure with a long lingering finish. The wine was made from a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot and 2% Malbec. It is best enjoyed after a decanting time of 2 hours and pairs well with red meat, game, and mature cheese.
