Tasting note

2019年的雄獅拉斯卡斯堡「雄獅之酒」展現了聖朱利安獨特的風土。這款酒雖然不如前一年份強勁，但它的早期可飲性為這樣的高貴酒款帶來了新的讚譽。酒體呈深色，複雜的香氣包含了黑加侖子、黑莓和留蘭香，還有煙草葉、雪茄盒和花香的底蘊，以及雪松胸和濃縮咖啡的微妙暗示。口感強烈，成熟而奶油般的單寧，口感細膩，尾韻悠長而純淨。這款酒由79%赤霞珠、11%梅洛和10%品麗珠混釀而成，並在法國橡木桶中陳年，承諾著卓越的陳年潛力。建議醒酒兩小時，以充分體驗其複雜性和優雅。搭配烤羊肉或烤牛排等濃郁菜餚，以襯托其皇家風範。

The 2019 Chateau Leoville-Las Cases 'Grand Vin de Leoville' is a testament to the unique terroir of Saint-Julien. This vintage, while not as powerful as its predecessor, is celebrated for its approachability at a relatively young age for a wine of such stature. It presents a deep color and a complex bouquet of currants, blackberry, and spearmint, with undertones of tobacco leaf, cigar box, and floral notes, all framed by a hint of cedar chest and espresso. The palate is met with intensity, ripe and creamy tannins, and a refined texture that leads to a long, pure finish. This wine, a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc, is aged in French oak and promises exceptional aging potential. Decanting for two hours is recommended to fully appreciate its complexity and elegance. Pair it with robust dishes like roasted lamb or grilled steak to complement its regal profile.
