Tasting note

酒莊與風土：愛詩圖爾位於聖埃斯泰夫，列級名莊，現由 Michel Reybier 持有，莊園臨近濱海河口，石礫與黏土土壤賦予酒款結構與礦質感。嗅覺：2020 年份先以黑色莓果、黑醋栗、甘草與黑巧克力的層次登場，並伴隨肉桂、豆蔻等香料與一抹雪松、煙草的木質氣息。口感：入口飽滿厚實但不沉重，酸度鮮明帶動節奏，單寧豐富而絲滑，果實濃郁且有良好緊緻度，尾韻綿長且帶礦感與微微香草、烘焙桶香。釀造小記：以嚴謹的桶陳（約14個月）和適度烘烤的新桶比例，讓酒體在酒精、果味與橡木之間找到平衡。搭配建議：適合與牛排、烤羊、獵物肉或熟成起司搭配，年輕時醒瓶約1–2小時風味更佳。整體來說是兼具力量與優雅、非常值得收藏的經典波爾多酒款。

Producer & Estate: Château Cos d’Estournel, a 2ème Grand Cru Classé estate in Saint-Estèphe now under Michel Reybier’s ownership, crafts wines famed for their exotic perfume and majestic structure. Tasting Note: The 2020 Grand Vin opens with an intense bouquet of blackcurrant, blackberry and cassis, layered with spice notes—nutmeg, cardamom and a hint of black tea—plus cedar, graphite and mineral lift. On the palate it is richly concentrated yet animated by vivacious acidity; dense, velvety tannins support waves of dark fruit, dark chocolate and subtle toasted oak. The finish is long, saline-mineral and elegantly persistent. Winemaking & Ageing: Fermented and matured with careful oak élevage (around 14 months, a significant proportion in new barrels), the wine shows both generous oak-derived spice and integrated structure. Vineyard & Terroir: From Cos d’Estournel’s vineyards on Saint-Estèphe’s gravelly and clay-infused soils with maritime influence from the Gironde estuary, the terroir gives ripe intensity with a cool freshness that balances power and finesse. Drinking Window & Service: Built to age—best cellaring from the mid-2020s into the 2040s–2060s—yet decanting (about 90 minutes) will reward near-term drinking by releasing aromas and softening youthful tannins.
