2018 Chateau Leoville Poyferre

講起波爾多聖朱利安的二級莊名門，Chateau Leoville Poyferre 歷來都以極具肉感、圓潤奢華的風格俘虜無數飲家。2018年酒莊經歷咗極端天氣，幸好聖朱利安標誌性的深層礫石與黏土梯田發揮保水奇效，令果實達致教科書級別的成熟度。在著名釀酒顧問 Michel Rolland 與莊主團隊巧手打磨下，這款酒展現出如黑天鵝絨般奢華的厚度。一開樽就聞到黑加侖子、紫羅蘭與雪茄盒的層次香氣；入口極度飽滿，果感濃烈澎湃但完全不覺笨重，單寧幼細滑順得像融化的黑朱古力，尾段帶著深邃的石墨與雪松氣息，餘韻綿延數分鐘。無論今晚醒酒慢歎，還是放入酒櫃藏上二十年，都絕對不會令你失望。

Ranked among the most thrilling releases of an extraordinary Bordeaux vintage, this Saint-Julien powerhouse effortlessly balances sheer density with aristocratic elegance. Born from the estate's iconic gravel terraces with deep sandy-clay subsoils, the fruit attained textbook maturity during the sun-drenched 2018 harvest. Crafted under the meticulous guidance of consulting enologist Michel Rolland and aged in high-proportion new French oak, it pours an opaque purple core. The palate opens with an explosive rush of creme de cassis, ripe black cherries, cedar pencil shavings, and crushed spring florals, wrapped around a spine of muscular yet velvet-clad tannins. While showing immense power and a multi-minute graphite-tinged finish, it retains remarkable freshness and weightless balance that will reward patient cellaring for three decades.
