Description
Sumptuous cherries line the medium to full-bodied palate of the 2018 Crozes Hermitage les Varonniers. Underneath—for the moment—are stony notes of granitic reserve, which I wouldn't be surprised to see emerge even more with time. For now, this looks plush and fruity, but don't be misled—there's more here. WA 92-94

Tasting note
2018年的華龍尼 - 沙普提亞克羅澤-艾米塔日萊斯瓦隆尼耀眼地展現了隆河區葡萄酒豐富而濃郁的特質。酒體呈深石榴紅色,散發出成熟紅果、黑醋栗和覆盆子的香氣,伴隨著甘草的微妙氣息。口感豐滿而結實,尾韻帶有香草和果醬的奢華感。這款酒釀自酒莊最老的西拉葡萄藤,並在橡木桶中熟成長達18個月,確保了風味的深度和複雜性,同時又和諧一致。適合窖藏,現在飲用或經年累月的陳放都能展現其風采。
The 2018 M. Chapoutier Crozes-Ermitage Les Varonniers is a testament to the rich and intense character of Rhone wines. With a deep garnet red appearance, this wine entices with aromas of very ripe red fruits, blackcurrant, and raspberry, followed by a hint of liquorice. The palate is greeted with an ample and solid structure, leading to a luxurious vanilla and jam-laden finish. Crafted from the estate's oldest Syrah vines, this wine is matured in oak casks for up to 18 months, ensuring a depth of flavor that is both complex and harmonious. Perfect for cellaring, it can be enjoyed now or aged gracefully for decades.
