Tasting note

品飲描述：1995 年份愛詩圖爾展現成熟黑果與香料交織的香氣，帶有烘烤香、煙草與些許甘草氣息。入口圓潤豐滿，果味厚實但不失優雅，單寧成熟偏甜，尾韻悠長帶有礦物與皮革的餘味。 釀造與酒莊：此年份經過橡木桶陳釀，新橡木的烘烤與香草香為酒體增添層次；酒莊以細緻調配與慢火熟成聞名，讓香氣慢慢散發。 葡萄園環境：位於聖泰斯特夫（Saint-Estèphe）礫石良好排水的園地，受海風調節，1995 年為炎熱乾旱年，果實濃縮、產量較低，造就了這款濃郁而有陳年潛力的酒款。 建議醒酒約一小時，搭配紅肉或陳年起司最佳。

Tasting Note: The 1995 Cos d'Estournel opens with an alluring bouquet of ripe black fruits—cassis and blackberry—woven with exotic spice, toasty pain grillé, pipe tobacco, cedar and a hint of anise. On the palate it is opulent and full-bodied, offering layered jammy fruit framed by ripe, slightly sweet tannins and lingering toasted oak and leather notes. The acid frame is moderate, giving freshness without stripping the wine's sensual fruit. Producer Notes: Cos d’Estournel is described as slow to reveal itself, deliberately sensuous and richly aromatic. The 1995 vintage, shaped by an extremely hot, dry summer, produced wines that are rich, fresh and complex with a long aromatic finish. Winemaking: Matured in oak with noticeable new-oak influence in this vintage, the Grand Vin shows toasted, spicy oak integration alongside cellar-derived tobacco and leather tones. Barrel ageing and careful blending aimed to balance power and elegance while preserving aromatic complexity. Vineyard: From Saint-Estèphe in the Médoc, the estate benefits from gravelly soils and maritime influence that moderate ripening. The hot, dry 1995 season yielded concentrated fruit and low yields, contributing to the wine's intensity and longevity. Cellaring & Serving: Already approachable for those who enjoy evolved Bordeaux, a 60-minute decant will help open tertiary aromas. Drinking window commonly cited as 2001–2030; still offers excellent complexity now.
