Tasting note
1998年的奧比安展現了波爾多佩薩克-雷奧良產區的宏偉。這款酒呈現出中等至深的紅寶石色澤，香氣撩人，帶有成熟的果香和高調的紅醋栗氣息。口感上，成熟而高調的果味展現出絕佳的平衡。酒體雖不厚重，卻有著濃郁的雪松香氣和顯著的持久性。收尾的橡木香氣完美融合，提供了結構而不壓倒一切，使這款酒具有豐富的強度和體積。其經典的深沉色澤和略顯內斂的香氣，隨著時間逐漸展開，揭示出迷人的複雜性，讓人聯想到陳年波圖酒，帶有焦糖化的成熟果味、烘焙咖啡和可可的香氣。單寧結實而優雅，預示著這款酒有著悠長的生命力。
The 1998 Chateau Haut-Brion is a testament to the grandeur of Bordeaux's Pessac-Leognan appellation. This vintage exudes a medium to dark ruby-red hue, with a nose that captivates with lifted-ripe fruit aromas, dark in nature, and accented by high-toned redcurrant. The palate is greeted with very ripe and high-toned fruit, showcasing a superb balance. The wine is not weighty, yet it carries intense cedar notes and is remarkably persistent. The oak on the finish is so beautifully integrated, it provides structure without overwhelming, resulting in a wine of rich intensity and volume. With a classic deep, dense color and a slightly closed nose that opens up to reveal a handsome complexity, this wine is reminiscent of a seasoned Porto with its caramelized ripe fruit, roasted coffee, and cacao notes. The tannin is superb and still dense, promising a long life ahead.
