Tasting note

品飲筆記：散發深沉的黑櫻桃、黑加侖與李子香氣，伴隨香料、雪松與鉛筆屑般的木質與微妙花香。入口飽滿集中，果實濃郁但不笨重，丹寧細緻如天鵝絨，結構堅實，尾韻帶有甘草、煙燻與一抹濕土與草本清新。 酒莊概況：荔仙（Château Prieuré-Lichine）為瑪歌名莊，四級列級酒之一，追求以優雅與精緻展現產地風格。2015年被視為極有代表性的年份，果實成熟度高且口感密度出色。 釀造手法：採小箱人工採收（9月17日至10月9日），使用震動分選台、人工與光學分選，入廠採用不破碎處理，浸皮時間相對短一些以配合較高酒精度。酒液在橡木桶陳年約16個月，兼具現代感與古典架構。 葡萄園與土地：葡萄園坐落於加龍河礫石帶（Günz-era Garonne gravel），排水良好，有利於果實累積風味與礦物性表現。2015年的天候──溫和多雨的冬春、乾熱的夏初──促成了果實的集中與香氣的精準表現。 口感提示：口中果實厚實、酸度提亮整體輪廓、收尾的丹寧圓潤且有延展性，適合搭配烤牛排、帶骨肋眼或陳味起司，也適合繼續在酒窖中養成更複雜的陳年風格。

Tasting note: Aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry and ripe plum are layered with sweet spice, cedar, pencil shavings and a floral lift. On the palate the wine is concentrated and dense yet refined — velvety tannins frame a rich core of dark fruit, with touches of licorice, smoke and espresso and a persistent herbal lift on the finish. Producer notes: A Fourth Growth Grand Cru Classé, Château Prieuré-Lichine aims to express Margaux elegance and terroir clarity. The 2015 vintage is celebrated here for its ripe, concentrated personality and excellent balance: ripe skins delivered depth while a refined structure guarantees longevity. Winemaking notes: Grapes were hand-harvested into small crates (17 September – 9 October), passed over vibrating sorting tables with manual and optical sorting, and vinified with relatively short macerations compared to 2014 due to naturally higher potential alcohol. The wine matured for 16 months in oak, producing a modern yet classically balanced profile. Vineyard notes: Soils are classic Garonne gravel (Günz-area gravel) with good drainage, promoting ripe, focused fruit and mineral lift. The 2015 growing season combined a mild, wet winter and spring, a dry June and a stressful July that limited berry size and concentrated flavors — a sequence that contributed to the vintage’s density and aromatic precision.
