1995 Chateau Grand Puy Ducasse

品飲筆記：這款波雅克風格的老年份酒，顏色深沉，初聞有成熟黑莓與黑李的果香，隨後浮現雪茄盒、煙草與溫和香橡木的氣息。入口單寧結實但已不生澀，果味濃郁且帶有碎石礦物感，酸度適中，尾韻悠長且帶香草與烘焙香。生產與釀造：酒莊坐落於典型的加龍河砾石與矽質土壤（梅洛生長於較沙質砾石地帶），所有葡萄手工採收、去梗並嚴格挑選，於溫控不鏽鋼或混凝土槽中發酵，之後以法國橡木桶熟成16–18個月（新桶比30–40%）。田地與風土：高砾石土壤賦予酒體結構與礦感，是波雅克傳統風貌的來源。建議與料理：醒酒30–60分鐘可去除沉澱並打開層次，搭配烤牛、羊架、野味或陳年硬乳酪都很合適。

Tasting Note: A classic Pauillac with a deep garnet core and a nose of ripe blackcurrant, black plum, cedar and cigar-box spice. Secondary notes of graphite, tobacco and leather unfold with aeration. The palate shows concentrated dark fruit framed by firm, well-structured tannins and a mineral, gravelly thread from the estate soils. Medium-plus acidity lifts the mid-palate and the oak influence is measured — toasted spice and vanilla from 16–18 months in French barrels (30–40% new). Producer & Winemaking: Château Grand-Puy Ducasse works its vineyards on Garonne gravels and silica with sandy gravels in places; grapes are hand-picked, destemmed, carefully sorted and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel or concrete vats before a lengthy élevage in French oak. Vineyard & Ageing: Classic Pauillac gravel gives the wine its structural backbone and ageing potential; balanced maturation in 30–40% new French oak preserves aromatic complexity and allows graceful development. Serving: Decant gently for 30–60 minutes to separate any sediment and to reveal tertiary layers; pairs beautifully with roast and grilled red meats, lamb with herbs and mature hard cheeses.
