Tasting note

品飲筆記：2000 年的靚次伯呈現深紫濃郁的酒色，散發黑莓、黑加侖與墨香混合的香氣，隨之而來的是煙燻、煙草和森林葉的細緻氣息。酒體飽滿，口感集中，有力卻不粗糙，單寧經時間打磨為柔滑但仍存在張力，尾韻綿長。 酒莊與田地：由卡茲家族經營的酒莊坐落於波雅克礫石風土，土壤排水良好、熱量累積均衡，經手工採摘與精細篩選，充分表現該塊地的礫石礎質感。 釀造工藝：採傳統做法，使用重力流與恆溫不鏽鋼發酵槽，陳年 15 個月法國橡木桶（70% 新桶），木香與果實融合，細緻但有存在感。 飲用建議：建議輕柔醒酒約 45 分鐘以去除沉澱並讓香氣打開。搭配烤牛排、烤鹿肉或成熟硬質乳酪，口感更協調。

Tasting note: The 2000 vintage at Lynch-Bages opens with dense, dark-purple colour and a bouquet of blackberries, cassis, graphite and ink, followed by tobacco, forest leaf and a smoky savoury thread. The palate is full-bodied, concentrated and structured, with velvety yet persistent tannins and a long, elegant finish. Producer & vineyard: From the gravelly Garonne soils of Pauillac and tended by the Cazes family under Jean‑Michel Cazes’ management, this Grand Cru Classé reflects a classic Médoc balance of power and finesse. Hand-harvested and sorted between late September and mid‑October, the fruit benefits from superb vintage weather. Winemaking & ageing: Traditional vinification using gravity-fed, temperature-controlled steel vats, followed by 15 months in French oak barrels (70% new). The result is a wine that has resolved much of its youthful austerity while retaining impressive structure and depth. Serving: Gentle decanting (about 45 minutes) helps lift aromas and soften sediment. Serve at 16–18°C. Excellent with roasted or grilled red meats and mature hard cheeses.
