Tasting note

此酒來自朗歌巴頓的河畔礫石坡地，酒體厚實但不粗糙，入口先是沉穩的黑果香與些許黑巧克力、煙草與皮革感，接著礦物與黏土般的濕土氣息慢慢浮現。單寧緊實、有架構，舌面有沉穩的乾性與溫暖橡木香，後段回味悠長。生產上採手工採收、逐地塊分選、在木槽控溫發酵並進行三週左右的浸皮，之後以法國橡木桶（約六成新桶）陳年16–18個月。建議開瓶前醒上一小時到一個半小時，能讓酒更快打開層次。整體風格成熟穩重，適合搭配烤肉或風乾紅肉與濃郁起司。

2006 Château Langoa-Barton is a classic Saint-Julien with a reserved, deeply structured profile. On the nose dark berry fruits — cassis and blackberry — mingle with tobacco, cedar, cocoa and mineral notes. The palate is concentrated and full-bodied, marked by firm, characterful tannins and a savory, earthy undercurrent; cedar and gentle spicy oak from prolonged aging unfold through the mid-palate into a long, persistent finish. Produced on gravelly slopes overlooking the river, the estate practises traditional ploughing and rigorous selection. Hand-harvested fruit is de-stemmed, sorted and fermented in temperature-controlled wooden vats (7–10 days), followed by a ~3-week maceration. The wine was matured 16–18 months in French oak (circa 60% new), producing a wine built for medium- to long-term cellaring yet rewarding decanting to reveal its layers. Drink within the suggested window 2015–2035.
